Product Description

Product Description
A long time ago in galaxy far, far away a really quite good SF film, a sort of western in space, was launched. The special effects were pretty shoddy but it did have some quite good actors in it. And Mark Hammill. A second and third film that were actually the fifth and sixth films followed and they weren't quite so good but they were still quite fun (especially when the teddies got blasted by the Imperial stormtroopers). Then, the first, second and third films followed and they were actually fairly dreadful though by now the special effects were much better. And the actors were still better than average too. And Mark Hammill was too old to be in it plus his character hadn't been born yet so that was OK. A Gollancz parody was inevitable. And here it is. An epic told in six chapters. An epic of good versus evil. Of dark versus light. Of hairy co-pilots and green gurus. Of bizarre hair styles, steel bras and camp robots. An epic that starts in the middle. And that's the original!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not that good. Just a load of star crap., 8 Oct 2006
This book is further proof that Adam Roberts should not write parodies. Adam, please. What the *&^%%&*%^$% is this?! Hardly any is funny. A few phrases stick with you but most is rushed and Adam is lazy. You can tell when he gets lazy because the book suddenly skips parts. Instead of describing a battle, instead the fool takes two *^$^^*&*%^&*^& lines to stay that the publisher is worried about the amount of words or some (**^&* *^(*&%. Adam tries to be funny but in some of his so called funny stuff, he bores us half to death with apparent funny explaining of words and arguements. I can't believe I spent money on this.
I'm sorry, Adam, if I've rained on your parade by giving scathing reviews, but &*^%*(^$^&&%^& hell, it's JUST NOT WITTY OR FUNNY ENOUGH TO MAKE ME LAUGH!!!!
