Having discovered after finishing reading this, it was a sequel explains a lot of why I wasn't understanding some of this book. I enjoyed it but was regularly bamboozled until the final third (tying up the threads so to speak).

Was an interesting book may be easier to follow if the first book is read.

As per usual I will not give a star rating on a book that just wasn’t clicking for me. I actually got about half way before putting it aside. I liked the first book but this one was a no go.

Man cannot live by Pratchett alone. Every now and then, he must venture next door and read some Holt. I sort of forgot about Holt for many years-- rediscovered him recently, and haven't regretted it.
I haven't read the first in this series-- Doughnut-- but that didn't seem to hinder my enjoyment. Holt's fiction is always a well-shaken mixture of humor and science, with an everyman protagonist who is plunged into chaos. But it's highly entertaining chaos for the reader. The protagonist generally doesn't enjoy it much.

It was a great book even though I didn't understand half of what was going on.
