Review of The Greatest Shop in the Galaxy by Seagullslost
13 May 2024
Having just listened to a rather dull and tedious audio this was a nice change of pace.
Here Benny is offically digging up a carpark, however the gigamarket next door with its clothes and shoes are where her real passion lies...
Tipically this starts out as as normal day, Benny enjoying the massive range of options open to her. The planet is splt between the human and The Borvali, not a good mix which is why there's a force wall separating them.. of course that is untill thnigs go wrong.
Its the usual expectation the wall not working, an act of sabotage by a betrayer, and problems with time. Nothing new, and all is resloved in the end.
Its kind of hard to know how to describe the Benny series, sci fi or sci fi comedy. There were times it felt like Hitchhikers Guide with the Vogons.
Bennys delight about getting shoes made out of real leather seems a little odd for a 26th century person, surely she'd find it barbaric?
All in all a reasonable adventure, entertaining, not particularly outstanding, but enjoyable.
