11/18/2006 | A little bland in the telling: the plot does just enough, the humour forced and the language isn't fresh. About as entertaining as the series - in which the novelty of the characters wore off after a few episodes

08/10/2005 | I found these books to be hysterical. Lister makes a great (and believable) main character. The robot kind of reminded me of Marvin the Paranoid Android, and I loved it. The ego-maniacal cat (and the pretext of the religious war between the cat sects) was great as well. In fact....I don't think there's anything I didn't like about these books. If it was for Grant and Naylor's names being on the cover, you'd swear you were reading an Adams book. I highly recommend these books.

06/06/2005 | The Red dwarf series of book are a good way to pass some time, they have good plots (some new, some from the the TV series) and the characters are great characters. However the books themselves seem to fall just short of the greatness that the TV series achieves. Don't get me wrong, they are entertaining and in no way damage the legacy of the sereis but they aren't worth 5 stars.

10/15/2003 | I have read all the Red Dwarf Books twice. Both times I read them I loved them and I am sure I will read them again. They are very cleverly written and unlike most books I read, they kept me guessing all the way through. I loved reading about episodes that I had already seen on TV and would recommend anyone who has watched th series, to read the books.

10/15/2003 |  For the past eight years I have been a dedicated reader of Sci-Fi, before this I had a very short concentration span and very rarely got into a good book. The Red Dwarf series taught me that not all books are hard to follow and that even I couldn't put a good book down once in a while. I was a big fan of the TV series so the books were a natural progression and I wasn't dissapointed, the two authors (Rob Grant and Doug Naylor) quite obviously work exceptionally well together and have produced the funniest series of sci-fi books since Douglas Adams Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy. In fact I could safely say that together they continue the genius that was Douglas Adams. The concepts and characters that make up Red Dwarf are fantastic, perfectly thought out and expertly developped. Things like Better Than Life, Cat, Polymorph - in fact I am going to stop there because I could go on and name everything but it is all brilliant stuff which immerses your inquisitive minds into a world of comedy, claustrophobia, space and smeg!
