The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Review

I can say, far and away, as much as I enjoyed the first in this series, the second one is really the better book. I can also say, based on my limited experience with the series so far, that you will enjoy these books all the more if you read them right after one another. Because, really, as much as they are individual books, they really aren't the "proper" sort of books one might be used to reading and they just kind of bleed into and fall on top of one another as they go along. There's little distinction between the end of one and the beginning of the next. Which is, honestly, what makes this a better book than the first one.

I have, for just about forever, been on the lookout for matching covers of these books and finally they have been found! That's really the only reason I haven't started this series before now. It's a classic science fiction series that has always been, in my mind, something I need to read before I die. It's also been a nice experience to begin these while in London (it means I can go buy a towel at Marks & Spencers if nothing else, hehe), because it strikes me as a rather British book.
