 GP> Is this Goodread's blurb, or the book jacket's?

I do believe it's the backcover text.  I forgot to check my own  
copies at the shop.  I'll try to remember for tomorrow.

The accolades are extensive. Hope you like it.  I'm going to  
give it a go myself. Some other comments about it refer to the  
dry humor style of Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy,  
satirical.  I liked Vonnegut's humour too.

Would love to hear your opinion of the book!
