This book was fantastic and funny and brilliant.

Basically, it's Aliens make themselves known to humanity and in order to not die in a horrific blaze of non-sentience, humanity must place better than last in Eurovision IN SPACE. Oh, and most everyone from the list of recommended representatives is dead so it's down to Decibel Jones, or as I liked to call him while reading it "Freddie-Bowie-acci" a glam-rock singer who was the big thing for all of 15 minutes years ago. And hasn't spoken to one of his band mates in years. And the other band mate is dead. So yeah, off to a great start.

The book owes a lot of inspiration to Douglas Adams in terms of off the wall world building and absurdism in science fiction. If you like Hitchhiker's, you'll probably enjoy this.
