I don't trust anyone who doesn't like this book. Its just SO GOOD. I've never laughed so much. I had to pause several times to just admire the genius of Douglas Adams, how did he come up with this stuff???? Its just *chef's kiss*

This book is such a thing that I expected it to be really good...and it was just fine. You can 100% tell it was written by a man (it’s not a bad thing for a book to be written by a man...but it’s a huge red flag if you can tell immediately). The story is ridiculous and over-the-top that’s sometimes funny and sometimes a bit much. It was quite short, so I may end up picking up the next one just because I know it’ll be a quick, easy read… and I still don’t understand what all the fuss is about!
