I don't usually read fictional comedies. I like movie and TV comedies, I like funny biographies and listening to hours of podcasts. I like novels that have funny characters mixing up the pace and making me burst into laughter. But not novels that are centered around being a comedy. For whatever reason it's hard for me to get swept into the fictional world if the narration isn't taking itself seriously, constantly giving me a wink and a nudge. 
 Even so, I rather enjoyed this. Inventive, insightful, and made me chuckle aloud more than a few times. A fair amount of quotable lines to be found in here, for sure. If you're a fan of comedic novels and cheeky humor and sci-fi, you will probably LOVE this book. 
 3.5 stars. Would have given it a full 4 if it was longer. It ended a bit abruptly, to my taste. Maybe I'll check out the sequel one of these days.
