5/5 - let's agree on that. Okay, it is probably biased, but there are few books that are so rare, so outrageous, that are funny even before the title begins, and the fun lasts through the last word and leaves you wondering, why all this had to end...
Sarcasm, cynicism, witticism and slap - stick are supposed to be different forms of comedy. While it takes a lot of talent to make one laugh, it takes a genius to combine all the different art forms of comedy into one book.
Very few authors ever reach this pinnacle in penpersonship (being politically correct here). Douglas Adams beats it all. In the lines of Charles Dickens (Pickwick Papers) and P.G. Wodehouse, came this brilliant author with his trilogy of five novels...
While there is no point in revealing any portion of the plot, which is thick and thin at once, I suggest you read "The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy first". I watched the movie instead, and people tell me the book is much better.
5/5
Definitely recommended for fans of sarcasm and humor!
