Being a longtime fan of the movie adaptation of this novel, I was overdue to finally read the book. Read it and wished I had gotten to it sooner. This book is hysterical! In the beginning, I had to reread several passages I had just read because the humor was so nonsensical that it was like trying to comprehend a textbook; however, once I got used to Adams' strange British comedic tone, I enjoyed myself immensely.
