"It's a good book, if you like that sort of thing. Too much male-superiority though. No substance to the book, but funny anyways"

"A very funny spoof of E E Doc smith's Skylark books, so read both and compare them! Two clever university students design a spaceship and go about fighting in wars in an random arbitrary fashion. Purposefully misogynistic, shallow, and convention defying....Hilarious! "
