Another hit from the Red dwarf team.

|
This book was written when Red Dwarf was at its peak at the end of the eighties/early nineties. On a par with 'Backwrads', another great, it is again about the crew going into a fantasy world, this time a computer game which takes them into their wildest dreams, hence the title 'Better than life'. Each of the dreams are witty and inventive, Rimmer's being the funniest - he has kids and becomes a drunken tramp. The prose is undemanding and fun, the charectors well drawn (the authors know them in and out by now) and the dialogue witty. One or two parts had me laughing out loud, and its definitly worth a look. A comedy with thought, an intriguing idea, and one other writers would kill to be able to do this well.
