Publisher Description
An award-winning sci-fi comedy about a nerdy teen who tumbles through the multiverse.
It's spring break and Max is stuck at home all by himself. Just the way he likes it. He games online, feasts on junk, and wonders why his cat can suddenly talk.
Thanks to a bizarre mishap, Max has started shifting between parallel universes whenever he falls asleep. A curious affliction, and one that steadily erodes his sanity. Day after day, he awakes to a strange new reality and struggles to make sense of his surroundings.
But then one day he awakes to a hyper-advanced version of Earth where humans have colonized space. Determined to fulfill a lifelong dream, Max and his cyborg cat venture into the black, only to entangle themselves in an intergalactic conflict.

Loved it
I don’t like comparing, but if you like Barry Humphries Space Team series, I think you should enjoy this.
Struggled to get into it.
I’m not one for DNFing a book so I ploughed on, really worked at this but it just couldn’t take me.
Felt like the writer was trying too hard.
Seemed as if they were attempting to appeal to everyone and the jokes were often really forced.
Some really lazy passages in there too, repetitive word usage and just not enough interest to make it anything but a real effort to complete.
On the positive side, there were a few really nicely written sections with some pretty good metaphors / similes but far too often they were ruined at the end with a clashing finish. Some elegant descriptions were going somewhere and then the sign-off just fell short.
I don’t think there was enough plot to keep me engaged. And it didn’t make me want to know what was coming next, didn’t give me a mental puzzle to piece together or give me enough rich language to truly enjoy. Probably too much exposition in places made it all a bit overly wordy and over-described.
Not for me, won’t be buying the next one.
