A review by adamgolden
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
2.0
(2.5/5★)
After hearing a lot of praise about this book throughout my life I think I kind of expected more from it. At times clever, excessively imaginative, and humorous to boot, it's an enjoyable read, but lacks in a dedicated plotline. The characters, while fairly unique, didn't have enough time to develop to the point where I could become attached to them. This could possibly be resolved by reading the other books in the series, but apparently the general consensus is that this is the best one, so I don't know if I'll ever get around to it.
