Great for listening to you're old favorites and getting exposure to new songs that fit in with your taste. (2 more)
Love being able to add variety to my stations.
Ads are not often enough to be annoying. Certainly more tolerable than normal radio.
It can take a while to get the perfect station curated, but once you do it's great. (2 more)
Sometimes it can get on kicks of all the same type of song, even after skipping.
Haven't been able to get the alarm to work.

We all recognize them. Those who exist just on the fringes of society. Who send prickles up the back of our necks. The charmers. The liars. The manipulators. Those who have the potential to go that one step too far. And then take another step.
WOW... is what I have to say for this thriller. This book grabbed me from the first chapter and never let me go. It tackles some difficult topics and it was quite uncomfortable to read in places but it was written well and not overly explicit.
I had tears while reading this; at times I wanted to scream in frustration at the characters. by the ending I was doing the mouth hanging open in surprise!
This story is told mainly from four different view points the story follows Jessamine, a radio presenter, her adopted daughter Sarah, Jitesh an intern at the BBC radio studios in present day London and Rowena in 2003.
I myself would love to see this turned into a movie.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Zaffre for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Like the first book, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is based on the radio series Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But where the first book was more-or-less the plot of the first four episodes, for the second book Adams included many of the best bits of the second series too, changing the story around to keep some semblance of plot (beyond Arthur's search for a decent cup of tea).
A perfect example of his ability to 'write backwards' the contents of 8 half hour radio scripts are condensed into one book, then expanded again with further footnotes and wry observations of the human condition. There is so much to like, so much to enjoy. The visit to the Hitchhiker head office, the Total Perspective Vortex, lemon soaked paper napkins, the Restaurant itself. And of course the classic and downbeat ending.
As a pair of books this and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy will keep you smiling for days, first as you read them and then as you remember all the little quotes, footnotes and bizarre extracts from The Book.
Nobody has ever come close to replicating Adams. This book shows why.

A wonderful isnight
Anyone who has not read this book and thinks they know Paul Merton, think again. This book is a marvellous insight into the life of one of our funniest comedians and presenters. Its humorus mostly but also contains poignant moments and reveations about his life that will astound and surprise you in equal measure. From his early childhood memories of radio comedy to presenting Have I Got News For You. Its a journey that will keep you engaged from beginning to end.
