Helpful Score: 1

I've never seen the show, but the book was very, very funny from the first line. It didn't quite have Douglas Adams charm, but was just as sarcastic. The main character, Lister, wakes up to find he's on one of Saturn's moons after getting drunk on a pub crawl through London. He joins the Space Corps hoping to find a way back home and soon finds himself aboard the giant spaceship Red Dwarf. With plenty of sci-fi references, a hologram and highly-evolved cat for crew-mates and a computer that's losing its memory, this was a very fun read. If you're looking for something light to laugh at and you enjoy afternoons watching your Star Trek DVD collection, I'd say this is worth giving a shot.
