The Hitchhiker's Trilogy

1985Douglas Adams

4.9/5

Hmmm. . .I'm not entirely sure why I have heard so much about this book throughout the years. The Hitchhiker's Guide itself (the first of three books contained within this Omni Edition) was rather uneventful and ended quite abruptly.The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was a tad more interesting though equally disappointing. The third and final book, Life, the Universe and Everything is all but!As far as science fiction goes, this borders on what I dislike; a conglomeration or innane words and characters that really hold no great meaning or comparison to people/places/worlds that we know of. Sure, it's imaginative but this is just borderline obnoxious.Certainly not a favorite of mine! I would prefer, and recommend, any Vonnegut over any of the books in this trilogy any day and to any one! Or, if you're looking for an Englishman with a knack for silly words, than stick to Dahl. . .To be honest, I was so bored reading at times that I contemplated fligning myself face first in to the ground, hoping to be distracted by something else. . .if you don't get it, read the book! I'm not against it, just don't waste your time on it if you don't have a ton to spare!
