When Albert Smith staggers into his kitchen one morning, his oven mitt addresses him as "Emperor of the Universe". Smith does the only reasonable thing and silences the apparent phantasm by hitting it hard with the next utensil at hand. Yet shortly after that, he finds himself catapulted into space along with a fast food restaurant, only to discover that he is not the only pretender to this title. Outlandish characters of all sorts try to impede his coronation, whereas the awesome Panda, loyal if verbose Grint, and a robot named Sunny (who isn't) escort him through his involuntarily humorous adventure.

From start to finish, SMITH makes for an enjoyable read. There is a good balance of humor and a good story moving things along. The characters are all believable, and the parody of life is fantastic. Well worth the money. Buy one for you, and one for your friends.

Delightfully daft and entertaining
Worth reading even if you're not into sci-fi... It's mad, fast paced and fun, just the sort of pick-me-up for the winter.

Enjoyable but contrived
I did enjoy Smith, but I did feel that some of the plot twists were too contrived, even for this kind of fiction. Read more
