Reviews

I can’t believe it took me so long to read this book. It’s the Sci-Fi version of Monty Python, weird humour that will stick with you for years and years to come. It’s really hard to review this book, all I can say the movie is terrible compared to the brilliant humour of [a:Douglas Adams|4|Douglas Adams|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1189120061p2/4.jpg]. I’m really looking forward to reading book two sometimes soon. Well worth reading.

What a strange and boring ride...

I'm not going to do an extensive review on this one, because my mind is very much blown.

This book is INSANE. I'm a very careful reader, I remember all the details and try to fit them together. Mr Adams here has just overloaded my circuit. I can't even make sense of it any more.

Definitely reading the next book though.

I'd never heard of Douglas Adams prior to my year 9 Literature class. But we had to study the first book and I fell in love. I adore this series. It's hilarious.

That said, it's not for everyone. I remember that I was one of the few in the class that did love it. Most hated it. But the humour spoke to me. So give it a try. You can always stop reading, but everyone should give it a go.
