The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

zioale's review against another edition

3.0

witty and very funny, yet it suffers the passing of time. Of course, some of the fun I could not grasp, not being British myself. Hey, the most peculiar experience was reading it on my e-reader, some 30 years after Douglas imagined the hitchhiker's guide being an electronic device with millions of pages on it. He's been a prophet!

I consider this one of the most overrated books I’ve ever read.

The frivolty was part of the charm, I guess. But had some very thought provoking quotes presented with brilliant wit! Humour on point.
