A very fast paced and funny adventure that absuletely kept me entertained throughout the 5,5 hours of this audiobook.
Sometimes I got lost in some passages that I might have just re-read but couldn't because of the format I got it in, but that only happened 2-3 times throughout the whole book and sometimes even cleared up later on, but that's totally on me and not the book.

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.

Funny, random and simple. I think this is the first comedy genre-focused book I've read. I liked the random interconnected stories in between.

The sperm whale, ballpoint pens, the dolphins and the small dog. ❤️

My english isn't at the book's level, so there were some sentences I couldn't understand, but I just guess and I think I somewhat get the context. Other than that, the dictionary helps. Sci-fi and action aren't really my go to genres, but I still enjoyed it. A good read, anywhere anytime.
