Is anyone else struggling with this book? I bought it a month ago with a lot of excitement. My friend had raved about its humor and creative concepts a lot, which made me curious to read it.
I get the humor bit, it makes me chuckle every now and then. But the rapid introduction of new concepts like spaceships, planets etc takes me out of the flow over and over.
I’d love to hear your opinions on it
There may exist a compatibility problem here; Hitchhiker to me has one of the greatest flows in sci-fi, maybe the greatest. Adams was a virtuoso in writing crazy ideas and new concepts as it was as easy as reciting the alphabet. The ideas and absudism are the main characters though, like many said before, do not go into it expecting something more standard, The Hitchhiker series is, after all, satirical.
