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 imagaination, 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
Douglas Adams is a brilliant author who creates metaphors with the least likely comparisons that both work, and leave you laughing. My friend Marissa read this out loud to me on a road trip and I am of the opinion that it is best read that way, preferably with friends. I bought it again to read aloud to one of my friends who hadn't had the chance yet to partake of Douglas Adam's writing.
Was not the edition shown was a much later movie edition cover. Quality of book was fine just a more commercialized edition that I already had a copy of. The book is one of my absolutely favorite reads and I highly recommend it but very dissatisfied with the version I received.
