   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!
