Frankly, it felt a bit overhyped. Maybe I just expected something absolutely mind-blowingly funny and wasn't able to see the story for what it is. If I'm right, this is supposed to be for the sci-fi genre the same as Pratchett is for fantasy. And Pratchett's version worked much-much better for me. The kaleidoscope of species, guide entries, flashbacks, characters and stories failed to amaze me. More like made me want to stop the Earth and take a breath.
Still on the fence about continuing the series.
