I read the first book several years ago and loved it. This time around, I reread the first book and then finally got to the others as well. I felt HGttG was the strongest, but I very much enjoyed the entire trilogy (of four). Definitely one of my favourites.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Loved the first book and enjoyed the second. The rest were long, drawn out and difficult to enjoy.

An adult version of [b:The Phantom Tollbooth|378|The Phantom Tollbooth|Norton Juster|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320476717s/378.jpg|1782584], Adams' stories are ridiculous, lack sense, but still crack you up.

Hilariously witty. So many great scenes and concepts. The whimsical nature was a lot of fun and very different to my usual read.
Unfortunately for me (and it may have been reading all 4 parts as one book) I found at times that it was dragging and I was confused and did not enjoy those bits.

Not as good as I remember from my first read-through. The first two books are great! Then the second two tail off and it becomes a strange read. It’s still a classic

Utter rubbish. This must be the most over-hyped book that I've ever read and I'm glad I only paid 50p for it. I was already losing interest in the book after just a few chapters never mind reading the whole lot.Every time there was a reading from the Hitchhiker's guide,I wanted to thump someone on the head with it.I kept praying that the spaceship would crash and end the bloody misery for me but no such luck!I just hated this from the moment I picked it up and discarded it to the nearest charity shop.
0 out of 5-didn't get far enough to even get 1 star! Hated it!

I adore this book. It's one that I've read over and over and will probably be forever my favourite. It's a book for when you need an easy read with an entertaining and funny story.

This is up there one of those books I can read over and over again. It is long enough that I forget little parts and short enough that I can read the entire things in a couple of days. Also, really entertaining.
