of
The Final Season (Planet Gallywood #1):
"Goofy, fun, and smart
The first thing you notice about The Final Season is a narrative voice immediately reminiscent of Hitchhiker’s Guide. with heavy 4th wall breaking narration. There is a tone that doesn’t take itself too seriously involving aliens" Read more of this review » |

“That was the strange thing about consolation: one instant of it ought to be enough to last a lifetime, and yet one could never have too much of it. It was uncomfortably like an addiction, and the danger was that one might expend all one’s energy chasing after it.”

“To a great extent the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”
