The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

After 3 month's of difficult labor, where i endured unbelievable ridicule from one librarian who claims she could of read the book "in a day" and was wondering why it was "three months overdue", i finally finished all two-hundred and sixteen pages of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".  It was a difficult journey, no doubt, but one i recommend to anyone who wants to try out this "reading" thing.  While i would like to give the book a raving review, i was never, and still am not, well versed at appraisal.  My best compliment ever given is "you really aren't as smart as you think you are", which was given to a man who believed himself to be too smart for his own good.  As a result of my clear inability to positively reinforce, i will just compare the Hitchhiker's book to the movie.  I should clarify though, i saw the movie only once at a young age, and have forgotten almost everything about it.  The Hitchhiker's books plot is one that all comes together in the end, with each tiny detail being brought up at least two times in the story.  Once, just to seem random and hilarious, and the second time to answer a few questions that have been brought up as the story progressed.  The movie had a scene where a man's lower torso was constructed of tiny metal legs.  The Hitchhiker's book completely disproved the theory of God, the movie had Stephen Fry as the narrator (i think).  The Hitchhiker's book had such clever moments that i had to reread them several times to understand the joke, the movie had a pretty cool box cover (i still think).  Three examples is enough for you to see what i'm trying to do here, my conclusion is you should read the book if you haven't. And i will be picking up the sequels... maybe... my brain has to rest.
