Further Comments...
Well, at first I had no words for this. It's probably one of the strangest things I've ever read. I've never read a sci-fi comedy before, so this was a first for me.

The main character Cal Carver is definitely the star of the show. He's got a remarkably quick wit, and is possibly the most annoying character in existence. I like main characters I can like, characters that I can cheer for. Cal was not this for me. Cal was a character I wanted to very desperately punch in the face. I wasn't alone in this opinion, most of the characters did as well. How he survived the whole book without being killed, I'm not entirely sure. He should've been. I've also got no clue what Cal actually looks like, which isn't great for a main character.

There was also the character of Miz. She was another character I couldn't stand. Miz is a werewolf-type alien, who had a crush on Cal, until she found out the truth about him. Her behaviour is super annoying throughout, because of this crush she had. Imagine the cheesiest, most possesive girl character you can, multiply it by 10, and you'll have Miz. It just made me roll my eyes every couple of pages.

My favourite character was Splurt. You won't understand it unless you read it, and I don't want to spoil too much. Splurt is the best character, and he doesn't even talk. Maybe that's why I like him so much.

The story itself is quite far-fetched, but still somehow fun. They get themselves into trouble, and somehow get themselves out of it in some very entertaining ways. This was the redeeming quality of the story. It kept me reading, instead of telling Cal to do one and giving up. The entertainment value of the story is what somehow upheld the 4 stars I've given to the story.

I've not decided if I'm going to get the next book in the series or not. Can I put up with two annoying characters for a whole other book? I'm not sure.
