    <body><![CDATA[I'm finding that it is harder to get really &quot;drawn in&quot; to science fiction. I enjoy Douglas Adams's writing, I think it is funny, clever, ironic and he has lots of great ideas and can spin characters and plots around like so many tops. But, like all SF, it is often so far removed from real ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72638757">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was very slow until halfway through when the main character Dirk Gently arrives.  Then the pace picks up, but overall plot points are scattered and non-sensicial.  There are certain elements that are quite entertaining and yet others make no sense.  All in all I would state that this book ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54511018">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Douglas Adams may suffer to a similar condition as Joseph Heller- their first works were so strong, so perfect, so beloved, that all their subsequent efforts were met with disappointment. To follow The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (THGTTG) series with anything nearly as good is almost too much t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48628126">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just reread this book and am just as amazed by Douglas Adams now as I was the first time I read it. Adams doesn't do British humour, he writes comedy of a galactic level and his out-of-this world wit is sorely missed since his passing. How else but Adams would write a book where the title character ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57814022">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ Ceux qui ont lu Le guide galactique savent que parler de ce type de roman est très difficile. Douglas Adams ose tout, jusqu’à l’absurde. Ca part dans tous les sens, tous les événements étant tous plus bizarres les uns que les autres.
