I really liked this movie when I was younger, and always wanted to read the book because I heard it was a lot better. And though I can see how people who read it first would think that, and to be fair I haven't seen the movie in a while, I'm really not sure I would have liked it much if I didn't have the context of the movie. It was funny and entertaining, for sure, but it was also was extremely Written By A Man (i.e. somewhat sexist and with no real female characters?) and like, idk, I just would have found it pretty chaotic and hard to follow if I hadn't seen the movie first. I'm probably not going to read the rest of the series but I don't at all regret reading this one.

A fun quick read, that can get a bit confusing at times when events get referenced before they are explained.

Worth a read, but won't reread. I haven't watched the film, but it would work great as a play.

A light-hearted intro to sci-fi for those who aren't ready for the 'heavier' works in the genre.

Dieses Buch ist wie ein Energydrink, bis auf Arthur, der ist mehr so ein Kräutertee.
