For some reason, my expectations regarding this book were low. Being a huge Hitch-hiker's guide fan (I recite dialogue in my sleep), I was disappointed by the Dirk Gently books, and expected Titanic to be similarly non-HitchHikers. However... I have to confess that I cheated, and rather than reading the book, had it read to me by the co-author Terry Jones, on the Simon & Schuster audio cassette. Without doubt, this is the best way to read the book. Not only does the book have a great story, with some wonderful lines, but Terry's delivery adds so much extra to the story, from his female voices (Nettie and Lucy), to the voices of the sardonic ...  Read the complete review

Amazing!!, truely amzing, that's the best way to sum up how good I feel this book is. Well imagine the scene, I, completely bored, wondering around waterstones aimlessly when lo and behold I happen to glimpse this book. Although I have read books by Adams before and have always been a fan of Terry Jones I would never of expected this book to be so good! The book is full of surprises to the end and there is never a dull moment. Buy this book if you like to laugh, and you will laugh a lot. The only possible thing that you could say against this book is that you won't be able to sleep until you have finished it. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Starship Titanic - Douglas Adams, Terry Jones: JUST LIKE THE TITANIC, THIS BOOK SANK (222 words)
by - written on 18/01/01 (Useful, 54 readings)

There is one reason and one reason alone why I read this book and that was because I run out of reading material whilst on holiday in the Dominican Rep. and this was one of two English books among the wealth of German literature in the so-called library, the other being a Barbara Taylor-Bradford novel, Whooppee! The story itself was original, imaginative and funny (like most Douglas Adams creations are) but for some reason on earth he let Ex-Monty Phython star Terry Jones write it. A poor decision in my eyes. The book reads as if Terry Jones just got up one day, was a bit bored and decided to write a novel, a very short one at that. The story has no ...  Read the complete review

Products similar to Starship Titanic - Douglas Ada...

DEATH, a warped Assassin, and real honest-to-god boars The Cheerful Fairy ...seriously, weaker sub - plot, VERY seasonal (Christmas)

A well written, comical masterpiece. perhaps a tad too surreal for some?

Pretty good storyline, characters, funny moments Weakest book in the Bromeliad Triology

Funny, surreal and just downright brilliant Bit offensive and twisted to some, and not for the faint hearted either!

very funny , easy to read can't put it down once you've started!

some very clever mickey-taking of Australia and it's culture(?) not very big on convincing plot-much too complicated for own good
