I thouroughly enjoyed this story. It's a book that I've had sat on my shelves for years and have never gotten round to reading, I finally decided to pick it up yesterday, it was so good I finished it less than 24 hours later. It's funny, the characters are excellent and good pacing. It helps you are learning about the universe bit by bit as Arthur (the MC) does so it isn't overwhelming by having too much world building all at once like some other stories in this genre.
