The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I thought that this book was amusing, but even though I've read that others compare it to Terry Pratchett's humor, I can't say that it was as enjoyable. It definitely has the dry humor that is fun, but it's not on my greatest list of reads. However, it is interesting enough for me to continue reading the series because I did like the movie. I guess I was just expecting the book to be a lot better than the film was.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
I thought that this book was better than the first one. I definitely had more chuckles in it. I loved the crazy fun that goes on even though sometimes I feel like there's no real point. An overall good read.
Life, The Universe, and Everything
A good, though sometimes confusing at times, book with witty humor. Fits well into the series and we continue to watch the main characters on their strange journey through space.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Overall, it's a good story. My complaint is that sometimes it really feels like it drags on and on and on and on... It doesn't flow the best and even with its humor, I did sometimes wonder why I was still reading this book. A lot of times, I had to wonder what the point of things were (which is probably the author's goal) and how many pages I had left before it was over. But, since I wanted to know what happens in the end, I kept going.
Mostly Harmless
As much as I wanted to finish out this series, I just couldn't do it. After the first three stories, it really went downhill and I kept finding that I was having a better time daydreaming than paying attention to the story. I have too many books to read to waste my time on something, that I felt, was overly-hyped.
