<p>There are two simple words to describe this book: Galaxy Quest.</p>
<p>And then, they aren't.</p>
<p>&quot;It's complicated&quot;, are some characters in the book say over and over again.</p>
<p>But the first part is. And it's too damn hilarious -- if you're a Star Trek
fan, that is. Or some of the lesser sci-fi series.</p>
<p>But the story picks up every absurd psedo-science and plot twist from the
series and extrapolates to the silliest level possible. I can't remember the
last time a book made me laugh.</p>
<p>It's silly. It's funny. It's the Galaxy Quest for every sci-fi series in the
planet.</p>
<p>And, then, after the curtains close... It goes into a deep, touching story
about... life, basically. You think you're done, but then it gets deeper and
serious and... touching, basically.</p>
<p>I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. And my reading statuses for this book proves
it.</p>
