Let me first start by saying that I adored "Mars Attacks" (the movie). It was the epitome of high camp, with every A and B list actor. So I get satire, even high-handed satire.

I couldn't get the rhythm or a basic understanding of any of the characters. Since my fellow reviewers loved it so much, I realize I might have missed the original? Or was there a prequel? Whatever - it didn't do it for me.
Even funnier than the brilliant original!

The continuing adventures of Rex Mundi, Elvis and Barry the Time Sprout amongst others, which surpasses even the original which was hysterical. This is the funniest book of its type since The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The best parts of the book are the introductions to each chapter which seem to be totally unrelated to the story but gain more relevance as the book goes on; the best one with the two wildly differing accounts of Hugo Rune turning himself invisible. A must read if you like that sort of thing.
the funniest ever!!!
