I liked this, but I just don't see what all the fuss is about. This was fast-paced and funny in that "something unexpected happens and it is super zany!" way, and it was a very quick read for that reason. It feels very Monty Python-esque in terms of the way the humor is handled, which can certainl...
Wow, this was a surprisingly quick read. I think it helped that I just couldn't wait to find out what happened next because with this book, literally, anything could happen.I have to say, it really wasn't what I thought it would be. It reminded me of so many other books and movies. For example, if G...
Dit boek staat in de top 10 van de bbc big read top 100, en ik had er dan ook veel van verwacht. Helaas viel het mij erg tegen. Ik kon er moeilijk inkomen, beter gezegd, ik ben er helemaal niet ingekomen. Het sci-fi genre is gewoon niet mijn ding..

Not that I regret reading it. I had some funny moments which I shared with this book but the writing didn't ...
Seriously I have been begged by friends to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for years. I initially tried to watch the movie and got bored and never finished it years ago. This book is the equivalent of watching a dark comedy. I laughed out loud several times and though the lack of character...
it has a unique sense of humor, but I find it rather refreshing. and I think this may seriously be the best dialogue I have ever read ... ever. because Adams is just awesome like that.
This book is fun, funny, crazy, occasionally mindblowing, weird and finally...great. It kept me reading and I just loved how Adams plays with the situations and characters. :) Now it's one of my favorites :D
