Just spotted a new Hal Spacejock review, this one on the Contrariwise blog. One particular comment caught my eye:
The story is fun and fast-paced, a great book for a quick read or for a younger reader who can appreciate humor, slight cursing, and poop jokes.
Go the poop jokes, that's what I say!
It’s an entertaining read, and I recommend it for anyone who loves deadpan narration and a few hours of frivolous fun in a science fiction world.
Don't delay, go read the rest of the review and see whether you agree with it. If you don't know whether to agree or not, download Hal Spacejock, read it, THEN go and debate the review.
Simon Haynes is the author of the Hal Spacejock and Hal Junior series (Amazon / Smashwords / other formats)

. . .it makes no qualms that it is there for your amusement and tries to please.
I agree with that part of the statement. I don't think it lacks anything--it's simply not supposed to be anything other than entertaining.
There's a bit of social satire stuffed away in the books, but it's incidental and entertaining the reader is goal #1.
