Let me start by saying that I LOVED the movie. Usually, when you enjoy a movie you are bound to hold to the old cliche "the movie was good but the book was better". In this case, although the book was okay, I thought the movie was much better. The book was funny in parts and obviously was the inspiration for a hilarious movie, but on the whole, I was disappointed with the book. If you enjoyed the movie, I would recommend the book just for a different slant on the story. Apparently, people have been talking about this book for years. I guess I just don't understand how the book falls so flat with such a great writer. The story, the characters, the imagination, all was well done, but at the end of the book, I was just left feeling empty. I couldn't believe it. The book just ended abruptly. There was no real climax and no resolution. Maybe you have to read the other "Hitchhikers" books to get the whole story. I don't know if I will take the time. So, just an average read that was made in to a fantastic movie.Read full review
This is the first book "of the increasingly misnamed Hitchhiker's Trilogy". I believe there are now 5 books in the series and although I enjoyed them all, nothing can compare to the book that started it all. English humor can be quirky and many Americans (like my husband) 'just don't get it'. Personally I loved this book. It made me laugh out loud. I reread it every 5 years or so and it stays entertaining.
