Reviews with content warning for War - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Very charming and entertaining, Adams' style of writing is ceaselessly amusing. Whether it be from my joy in reading it or simply the writing style, this book feels much shorter than it actually is. A gripping start to the 'trilogy' it sets up the stage perfectly for the madness to come.

As most know, there's a famous bit in this book about the number 42, and when I read this for the first time when I was young, I told myself I couldn't wait to read it again when I turned 42 years old. And so on my 42nd birthday this year, I did exactly that and had a great time. Still just as punchy and silly and weird now as it was then (though I didn't remember the police bits at the end...). Formative and cozy. Good for 42.
