Commentary Toward Books Starship Titanic

Sur la planète Blérontin, on s'apprête à inaugurer en grande pompe le Straship Titanic, formidable vaisseau spactial, dernière création de Leovinus, le plus grand inventeur de l'univers et de tous les temps. Or, bien évidemment, l'engin a été saboté - une bombe intelligente a été placée à son bord -, et toutes les conditions sont donc rassemblées pour que ce premier vol expérimental soit une catastrophe sans précédent, mettant notamment en grave péril les vies des passagers : Leovinus, un perroquet de la planète Yassacan, un journaliste nommé Le Journaliste et un trio d'innocents humains...

Commentary Based On Books Starship Titanic

Not as good as the first time I read it, but they never are. Still, pretty good, for a novel that was written in three weeks.

A fast, light read, clearly based around the game mechanics. (I really, really want to play the game now.) Nothing in the novel itself made me laugh quite as much as Douglas Adams's introduction, but few things in the universe would. God I miss him.

This book was not entirely unlike Douglas Adams books. I enjoyed Terry Jones Monty Python work, and the combination of that and Adams name attached to it I was expecting it to be great. However, it didnt live up to those expectations. It was fine, but it didnt quite have that charm that youd expect from something actually written by Douglas Adams. I feel like it relied way too much on sex jokes, which are fine in moderation but that was most, if not all, of the jokes in this book. The story

easily the best book I've ever read that was based on a CD-ROM computer game, especially under the sub-category of books written by comedians I like based on CD-ROM games by favorite authors. I dare say it tops both of those lists.

Love Monty Python, Love Douglas Adams, enjoyed the video game this book was based on. Disappointed in the book.



I found a copy of Douglas Adams's Starship Titanic at a half-price book store last December, and picked it up. I'd played the related computer game when it came out back in 1997 and was curious to see how (what I remembered of) the storyline played out in book format. The story opens with Leovinus - the genius designer of the Starship Titanic "the ship that cannot possibly go wrong" - taking a last-minute tour of the ship, only to find that some very serious corners were cut in its construction.
