I don’t have much to say about this one other than it just wasn’t for me. It was quite politically incorrect at times, which I feel like was the point, and it just got uncomfortable with little/no lay off. That being said, someone could most definitely enjoy this book!

This was quite a fun and fast reading, but it was, somehow, lacking. It's not bad, and we have a lot of interesting (even if sometimes annoying) characters, and it's fun. But plot-wise it's not the most complicated or compelling book. It's the right reading if you are in need of something lighthearted, with a space spice to it. We have some great scenes and the author has a good sense of humor (some scenes made me laugh out loud), and if you just to want something to keep you busy for an afternoon, that is not demanding and that it won't stay with you once you finish the reading, this would be the right book for you.
But if you are in for something a little bit more, something that would keep you company and would make you thought about it even once you have closed it, well... than you would be mildly disappointed by it.

Unfortunately,
I had to DNF this one. I made it through about 15 percent. The humor was forced, at best. At worst it was drudgery. I don't like when authors try to push their politics in a story.

DNF- I have unfortunately decided to DNF Astro-Nuts by Logan J. Hunder. The humor and writing style are just not for me and that is not to say it is bad I am sure that many people would enjoy a Science-Fiction spoof but I am not one. I don't particularly like humor that uses serious topics as throw away lines and I felt like that was being done a bit too much for my taste.

A tired sludge through a book where the author is trying too hard to be funny and fails miserably. Each chapter was more cringe-worthy than the last, and I only stuck with it in the absolutely vain hope that it would get better.

Weak storyline with unsatisfying humor

I didn’t enjoy this book. I found a lot of the humor juvenile and the dialogue silly. The characters weren’t compelling and the story wasn’t well paced. The characters weren’t particularly sympathetic, especially the main protagonist. A lot of the story line was just silly. Several times during the first half of the book, I would stop reading it but then went back in the hope that it would improve. At about halfway through, I threw in the towel and stopped reading. This is especially disappointing because I had enjoyed Witches be Crazy by the same author.

I love comedic sci-fi. But this . . . this, I did not love. It read like it needed another editing pass or two to clean up the awkward phrasing, tighten the jokes, and flesh out the characters. And I wasn't laughing, or feeling entertained by, ANY of the jokes, which was kind of the death knell for the whole thing; it felt like it was trying too hard to be clever, and ended up not being clever at all.

As always, your mileage may vary. But for me, this just didn't click.

Astro-Nuts is definitely out of the box from what I normally read. The story did totally remind me of Spaceballs, and I thought it was hilarious in that utterly ridiculous kind of way. If you take Star Wars like super serious, then you might not appreciate this kind of humor. It's more for those light hearted space adventure readers. It's a fun read either way. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
