Full review
The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy is an amazing book, so amazing in fact, that it reveals the answer to life, the universe and everything.

It doesn’t start off so spectacularly though. We meet the main character, Arthur Dent in his not very remarkable house. He doesn’t seem to realise that his house is about to be demolished to make way for a bypass. When he finally does make a connection with the bulldozer outside his house, he lies in front of it.

He happens to be friends with Ford Prefect, who, despite what he tells his friends, is an alien from Betelgeuse and not an actor from Guilford. Ford. He is in fact, a researcher for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy who has been stranded on Earth for fifteen years. He has happened to come by the information that the world is about to end, for he has a machine that can pick up the signals of nearby spaceships.

The planet is due to be destroyed, funnily enough, to make way for a bypass. I always knew they were stupid things. Anyway, this leads to hilarious and bizarre consequences.

It’s a brilliant book, it’s so refreshing to read something that doesn’t want to make sense, that makes our heads spin with truly amazing and baffling things going on. It also shows us just how strange the things that go on in this planet of ours are, and teaches us to respect the smaller animals of this world.

A must for all of you crazy people out there.
