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.

It's got the bit with the whale and everything. Weirdest part was realizing I am now older than Arthur Dent.

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

This book is such a thing that I expected it to be really good...and it was just fine. You can 100% tell it was written by a man (it’s not a bad thing for a book to be written by a man...but it’s a huge red flag if you can tell immediately). The story is ridiculous and over-the-top that’s sometimes funny and sometimes a bit much. It was quite short, so I may end up picking up the next one just because I know it’ll be a quick, easy read… and I still don’t understand what all the fuss is about!
