I know this is a beloved early sci-fi book and I kept feeling bad that I did not love it. There were some fun ideas:the manically depressed robot, the guide on what is really a kindle, the big questions and the answer it took the computer 7 millions years to come up with. But I did not panic - because of Goodreads - I had more fun reading a ton of reviews - it is like I had a giant discussion about the book with a lot of people with differing opinions and different interpretations of the book.

It made me laugh, sure, but often it felt as if the author was trying too hard. I'll give the next novel a fair shake. Maybe I was just reading whilst grumpy!

We hadn't made it 4 minutes into the book (listening with our kids) before hubby said to turn it off. :( I had always heard such good things about it.
