Somewhere between satire and farce. Python-esque British comedy as its best.

Great story! Only 200 pages of pure enjoyment! Easy to read and quick to get through. A classic!

Quirky, better than both movies

I thought that this book was amusing, but even though Ive read that others compare it to Terry Pratchetts humor, I cant say that it was as enjoyable. It definitely has the dry humor that is fun, but its not on my greatest list of reads. However, it is interesting enough for me to continue reading the series because I did like the movie. I guess I was just expecting the book to be a lot better than the film was.

this book is funny, you might have to read it twice just to figure out what the author is talking about.
