The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - review

hitchhiker

I really enjoyed this book, it is funny, has sarcasm and aliens in it, but my personal favourite moment is when Arthur Dent is lying in the mud in front of a bulldozer to stop it demolishing his house (only to have the Earth demolished seconds later).

I would recommend this book to anyone 11+, but it really depends on your reading level and tastes. I enjoy reading quite adult books so people who are like me in reading really should try it! If I had to put it into categories, they would be funniness and sci-fi. I don't, however, recommend this book for people who prefer easy to follow story lines or non-­fiction or real life text.

I think that if you like reading adult content (but no swearing), humorous, or sci-­fi books then you should GO AND BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW. OR BORROW IT. OR EVEN BETTER, GET THE WHOLE TRILOGY OF FOUR!!!! YEAH!!!!!

Thank you so much for reading!
