The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (Boo!)

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Douglas Adams

This book travels to the ends of the universe, following a growing group of beings, most of them not humanoid. This book is a must read.

I really don't know what to say about this book, it is so cleverly woven and entwined with humor and adventure. There really isn't a fixed plot, its about the universe and its inhabitants, it focuses on a small-ish group of aliens an various other beings. The point and meaning of the book changes so many times that you almost can't keep up with it, there are so many twists and turns, but in the end everything makes sense and you can see the threads connecting every single event and mystery, united in a huge crescendo that can't be topped by any other book. An amazingly smart, funny and loud book. Adams puts so many strong opinions to voice in this fast paced adventure on witch you will discover many new inventions, perspectives, planets, species. Additionally you will learn more about Earth and the many types of aliens involved with Earth. This book is a amazing read and not to be missed.
