THE TRIVIAL UNIVERSE
★★★★★
“This was so good! While reading, I felt like I did the first time I picked up a Discworld book. There is clever wordplay and witty insight, great banter and really fun characters.
Highly recommended if you’re into either Discworld or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy—or both."

“I loved this book. I laughed out loud several times—to the annoyance of hubby, who also had to listen to me quoting bits of it.”
“If you have any level of geek in you and you have a sense of humour, you will love this book!”
Sequel please, Mr Stride.

“It entertains while leaving you with questions to ponder long after you’ve finished reading.”
I absolutely loved the premise of this book. It manages to explore enormous philosophical and scientific questions while still telling an engaging, character-driven story.
Rather than feeling overly academic, it uses its characters and plot to examine ideas about existence, purpose and our place in the universe.
The balance between humour, curiosity and emotional depth made the story incredibly enjoyable. I found myself pausing several times simply to think about the ideas the author introduced.
This is exactly the kind of speculative fiction I enjoy: one that entertains while also leaving me with questions to ponder long after I’ve finished reading.

Tourists have already been travelling through The Trivial Universe and reporting back.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
It was definitely outside my comfort zone. I don't think I understood every details but it was fun! I recommend it if you like science fiction but you're looking for something lighter and more on the comedy side
