One such critic remarked that it is “highly accessible primer to outside-the-box thinking” and that Adams never gives in to the “to the bleak paranoia or wanton violence that permeates so many works of contemporary speculative fiction” (Wynne-Jones). Another critic remarked “many authors would shy away from such obviously extreme plot devices, Adams layers them in as heavily as possible” (Smith). This alludes to plot points such such hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional…

During a season of historic rainfall and chilling temperatures in a land that was miraculously left untouched by the devastating wildfires just a year before - it was saved so I could come here. Adam created an entire world just for me to learn every lesson, first hand.
