Rating: - I thought it would be funnier.
I hate to say it but I didn't enjoy the book that much, it was alright and funny in parts but it just wasn't enough. I prefere Terry Pratchet books. I'm disappointed that I didn't love the book, but I don't know if I'm disappointed at me, the book or both. It just wasn't funny enough.

Rating: - Forty Two Reasons to Buy.
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, I borrowed Hitch Hikers from the library and changed my outlook on reading forever. At school they told us what and when to read and as a consequence I'd never read anything except for `Winnie-the-Pooh' and `The House at Pooh Corner', then they sent us home to revise for our `O' levels and I needed a silent occupation to keep me entertained ...

(This was a girl who wanted ... Read More

Rating: - Dont panic just buy read and enjoy
I read these books ( please get all of them ) every year and they never fail to make me smile or enrich my life. So many wonderful ways to approach the mysterys of the universe and make it fun. It should be in every school and part of every teenagers life. Mr Adams , thank you , wherever you are. This ranks with Spike Milligans war memoise, the Pythons and The Simpsons.

Rating: - Revisiting a classic
I re-read the Hitchiker's Guide over the summer while on holiday and had an interesting reaction. I first read it in my teens and thought it was a masterpiece, side-splittingly funny. It became the originator of a host of catchphrases among my circle of friends and we circulated dog-eared copies around our school until everyone seemed to be a fan. Revisiting it, I found it slightly annoying and repetitive, somehow. Maybe I've become an old bore. The repeated, completely random interruption of fate ... Read More
