I liked this a lot more than I expected to. I had read the author’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy about 20 years ago and, while I remember finding it mildly amusing and clever at times, I also found it too unrealistically silly to take seriously and didn’t much care for it. My memory of that bo...

I loved this book when I was young. Now that I'm much older I not only loved this book, but actually thought it was better than when I originally read it.
