The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
To be honest i liked the humor, the jokes were fun and the unpredictable twist in the story were fine.
I am not sure why but i do not like to much the book, i mean, the start of the story was amazing, i have read a lot of books but i can count with mi hands how many of them start with the destruction of an entire planet, but surprice, it was not a planet, it was a computer, the most powerfull computer in the univerese, and it was build by mice (of course, how could be posible it was not that way?)
I have to admit, i was lost sometimes with the flash backs, but usually explain something of help to understand a specific carácter and/ or they role in the conflict (?), i do not have idea if there is a conflict.
I am super predictable, but my favorite part was the answer given by the super computer, the anwer of everything … ok, i am going to put the quote:
"Alright," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question...""Yes...!""Of Life, the Universe and Everything..." said Deep Thought."Yes...!""Is..." said Deep Thought, and paused."Yes...!""Is...""Yes...!!!...?""Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.
Also i am intrigued about the answer /question.
Oh the descriptions are like completly absurd ideas taken from surrealist poem, this example is ilustrative: "The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't"
Some of the ideas i like, is the planet used for the design and construction of other planets, and how a kind of climax happens there, is the place with a story connected to the protagonist (again, i am not sure the novel has one), the Earth, the cause of the creation, and why the destruction represents a problem for the mice.
I also love the computers, with real human personalities, usually when i imagine a machine helping the humanity is kind or al least try to serve as well as posible the purpose of it´s creation, so it was fun and satisfying.
I hated the end of the book, i am sure that it could not be called an end, i have the same experience whe i finished The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands , yo read the last page, yo know what happen before and you can imagine the next, but you cannont be sure and of course, it gives you an unsatisfactory feeling like if you did not read the book at all.
