I totally recommend starting at book one of this series. Its Hitchhiker’s Guide meets World of Warcraft on shrooms. This 3rd entry is the lesser of the series thus far. But while it gets a little slow and long winded thanks to the overly confusing setting it still has plenty of action and goes much further developing ancillary characters. If you enjoyed Carl and Doughnut so far after the “DA Cookbook” they may be your new fictional role models.
