The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
By Douglas Adams
Reviewed by Joshua M of yr.8
For those of you who have seen the movie I can guarantee that you will enjoy the book a lot more. It is packed with deliciously witty humour that all relates to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything. Some parts of the storyline can become muddled and difficult to grasp if you don’t remember the smallest of details but that is part of what makes it such a great story. To list all the characters we meet throughout the book would take an age and a half but our brave, valiant and very muddled heroes of the universe are Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin the Paranoid Android.
As the author puts it, “to truly understand this novel you should have a basic understanding of everything in the universe.” But please, regardless of whether you do or don’t dive in to discover what a big, startling and frighteningly large universe we live in.
