🎧📚 Book 2 in the Red Dwarf Duology. I‘m reviewing it again … cuz I read it again 😄

Slowly all of the crew (Lister, Cat, Rimmer, Kryton) are lured into a VR game (for years) which lets them live ... Better than Life … their desires are totally overblown in each of their lives.

Holly & Talkie Toaster have to save them before Lister dies.

Now I want to watch the TV series! 4 day marathon weekend coming up maybe!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

🎧 There are 4 Red Dwarf novels. This is the 2nd in the first duology. I‘ve read these books multiple times. This time around I listened.

Rimmer narrates & it is FANTASTIC!!

If you‘ve seen this tv show you will recognize the story! The crew play BTL and as each goes in to rescue the last they all eventually are absorbed in a game created by their individual desires. It‘s HILARIOUS!!

Short book!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👇🏻

Twainy If you haven‘t seen the tv show start with Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, also a brilliant book and the first one that is the base for all.

Silly puerile sci-fi humor. Highly suggest these books if this is up your ally.

You can‘t beat Red Dwarf, even #better when it‘s read by Chris Barrie.

The Red Dwarf books (and the TV series they're based on) are full of #absurdity. #QuotsyNov17

After an exhausting day, I want nothing more than to plant myself on the couch and join all the Littens participating in Ambrosnazzy's #LitsyPartyofOne! Unfortunately, I won't be able to join in til later this evening because we have a birthday party to attend. I'm trying to sneak in a little reading before we leave! Anyway, here's my favourite 🐧Gavin with my #currentread & a stack of books I hope to read this weekend. Happy reading, Littens!

Better Than Life was the last book Rob Grant & Doug Naylor wrote together as Grant Naylor. In the mid-90s they parted ways & each wrote their own Red Dwarf novel. I haven't read these for awhile, but I recall thinking that alone, neither's writing could achieve the same magic they'd accomplished together. I think I liked Backwards better than Last Human because part of it was based on scripts they wrote together. #Publishedinthe90s #Photoadaynov16

This was more difficult than I imagined! I chose to focus on read books, but seeing them all together made me realize that some of these are overdue for a re-read! I'm looking forward to reading the Red Dwarf and Landover books again! #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #bookrainbow

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I really need to re-read the Landover series again myself, it's been years. Have you read the newest one that he wrote a few years ago 8y
TK-421 I read it several years ago and honestly, I remember very little about it, except that it was about Mistaya. 8y
