Okay, so this book needs a proofer and professional formatting, and between missing words and run-together dialogue lines, it's sometimes difficult to follow what's going on. It's over-the-top silly (so don't make the mistake of trying to take it seriously) and it should come with a universal translator so the scientific technobabble can be assimilated (to thoroughly mix a few Trekkian metaphors).

I just don't care. Reading this turned a very blue and down day into a giggle fit, and I stayed up 'til four in the morning finishing. Yep, read it in one sitting. Remember, life is too short to read dull books, so five stars for sheer ingenuity and ridiculousness.
