Yahtzee strikes again!

Where does Will Save the Galaxy for Food rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Will Save the Galaxy for Food is definitely among the best. A cleverly written story with believable characters and, as typical for Yahtzee, a flawed hero that keeps you interested.

Who was your favorite character and why?

With such an entertaining cast, it's a tricky decision. My own personal favourites would have to be the lead hero - a man caught up in something much bigger than he'd ever wanted, and his tack-sharp foil Miss Warden, whose sarcastic wit provides a barbed quip every time she opens her mouth.

What about Yahtzee Croshaw’s performance did you like?

Yahtzee, as the author of his stories, knows his characters better than anyone. With other successive audiobooks under his belt (Mogworld and Jam, which are also brilliant reads) he's had an opportunity to develop his voice acting skills and find his talents. Every character has their own voice and pattern of speech, and they're all crafted to suit their personalities.

Miss Warden speaks with an edge unlike any other, and young Jemimah has the air of someone utterly dragged along for the ride. Yahtzee brings a passion only a craftsman can.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely. The plot has enough twists to keep you entertained and the interaction between the cast make it an engaging listen. Whilst you'll likely have to split it into its respective Parts, it'll keep you interested in each step.

Any additional comments?

Yahtzee brings a fresh perspective to storytelling, and each of his books is a testament to the personality he brings. Will Save the Galaxy for Food is just the newest edition in a library from this author, and each book is worth your time.

Wit, sarcasm and space

Wit, sarcasm and space ships. What more you you ask for? Well okay, a couple million dollars I suppose, but apart from that.... All I can say is bring on volume 2 and Yahtzee Croshaw better stop playing video games and write faster.
That’s it. Recommended

Funny and clever

I bought this book ages ago on a whim and took ages to getting around to listening to it.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, funny throughout to point of quoting. Interesting characters and setting, this was a great listen and definitely a book I will listen to again.

I'm really hoping that the author writes more set in the same universe.

Excellent

A great take on space adventures, and Yahtzee's narrative performance has improved greatly since Mogworld. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Old Style Hero Space Yarn with a contemporary feel

Enjoyable listen. Reminded me of the Harry Harrison novels I used to read. Pulp Sci fi with a comedic slant.
Well read by the author.
Willingly onto the next.

Entertaining despite the fictional anachronisms

I was a previous fan of ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw from his YouTube Zero Punctuation videos. I really enjoyed hearing his voice on this production and found the story one that I didn’t want to stop listening to. My only nitpicks of this story are the limits of Croshaw’s imagination of his sci-fi creations. I enjoy the sci-fi genre and what I particularly enjoy are the new inventions, technology and culture that are created in the fictional universes. If outer-solar system space and quantum tunnelling are an everyday thing, paper is incredibly also unlikely to be used with a regularity that wouldn’t cause comment. If ID chips are standard so surely would be things like Google glasses communicators. A whole population of people who living on the moon, differentiating themselves enough to be disdainful of Earth dwellers would obviously have their own culture and cultural references. They would be unlikely to have a lazy Susan or even know what one was.
For me, these anachronisms in a fictional universe didn’t pull me out of the story because I really enjoy listening to Croshaw, his characters were engaging and the story having enough twists and action to keep me entertained and listening. But some harder sci-fi fans might find the mention of biblical analogies a little jarring
