From the very first paragraph, where humans were describe as ape descended beings, so primitive that they still think digital watches are a neat idea, I was laughing.

This book is ABSURD!
It's very conversationally written. Sarcasm. Satire. Irony.
I was so intrigued (this book is written in the late 70's)at the description of Ford's Hitchhiker's Guide. It was described as a magical library, that held 3 rooms of books all in one box, and you can randomly go to any page you want in any of those books by pushing a button.....
AHEM- Kindle?? LOL. Did Douglas Adams invent the Kindle in 1970-something?

I liked that Ford and Author switch places a bit. On Earth, Ford is super chillaxed and Aurthor is high strung. Then, out in the Galaxy, Ford becomes the one who's always anxious, and Aurthor becomes the relaxed voice of reason.
I love how much gibberish they made up and then counted it as legitimate facts- A nothingth of a second, is a measure of time.
I peed my pants approximately 47 times during this book. I peed during the missile impact scene, I peed about 42, I peed about the bulldozer irony, I peed that the footnote describing Ford Prefect's childhood was 2 pages long, I peed about teasers, and I did NOT know the internet translation site I used to cheat on my Spanish homework was named Babelfish because of this book!
I LOVED when Ford points out that humans have a really bad habit of pointing out the obvious. Such as- It's dark in here. It's cold out there. It's raining.....
I feel dumb. I'm actively trying not to do that anymore! Haha

Anyway, I will read this book again, more than once.
I also think it could be a very fun book for children, and an easy read for those who have just learned. And it's not violent, or vulgar, just tons of silly.
I would recommend this book to anyone who can handle a little nonsense humor. It's just so silly. It'll brighten your day :)
