# I liked the first series
but it quickly went off the rails for me.

I think it got a bit too egotistical

Worth a read, if you like that sort of thing.

Although like the series, the first (two) books are written by the gestalt entity known as 'Grant Naylor'. But they both wrote third books seperately. I think Rob Grant's "Backwards" is a lot better than Doug Naylor's "Last Human".

# Damn right
they forgot that the point of the whole thing was loneliness. It's a daft, but still relevant, metaphor for the human condition. As soon as they forgot about Lister being lonely then it all went to pot.
