Is anyone else struggling with this book? I bought it a month ago with a lot of excitement. My friend had raved about its humor and creative concepts a lot, which made me curious to read it.
I get the humor bit, it makes me chuckle every now and then. But the rapid introduction of new concepts like spaceships, planets etc takes me out of the flow over and over.
I’d love to hear your opinions on it
It worked better when it was a radio play as originally designed. Because then the interruptions where the narrator speaks an aside to the audience about an entry in The Guide were better signposted by the fact that you hear a switch in voice actor. The Guide narration was a different voice so it felt more natural than when the written word takes an aside.
