This is Eurovision in space, done in the style of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If you don't want ramblings and long divergences into details about different alien species, this is not the book for you.

The stakes are high: if Earth's performers come in dead last, the who planet is wiped from existence. And the performers picked to represent aren't all that great. But glam is good.

I listened via Hoopla. Worth a listen, but the Hitchhiker's Guide style was overdone in parts.
