I enjoy Douglas Adams and this story was no exception.
Of course, one always comes upon new best friends unexpectedly. You never purposely set out to find one and should you have let your hopes up you usually get very disappointed. In this book I think I have found one.
I expected this book to be "quite alright", funny, highly annoying, and witty as Douglas Adams' writing always is, surprisingly I felt a deep connection with it. It is snorting out loud funny in a highly realistic sort of way, whilst describing absurdly impossible circumstances.
The plot is completely fragmented and presented out of order with points of view shifting rapidly and even such things as certainty about place and time do not exist. Incredibly, it all works out and ties together.
I feel a great urge to immediately start over again, no doubt there are a whole lot of subtleties that I have missed.

Random and funny, as expected, but lacks the complete and utter nonsense that made [b:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|386162|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #1)|Douglas Adams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1559986152l/386162._SX50_.jpg|3078186] so incredibly genius.

the tv series is one of my favourites and i’ve seen it many times but have never read the original book! there aren’t really any similarities but i really enjoyed it :) need to read the next book in the series now!
This reading was fun but honestly there are a lot of things I didn’t understand.
