Life, the Universe and Everything

Firstly, I'd like to say that Adams has a great voice in his writing. I like the humor in his writing and the main characters in the series will live in my head forever, which is something that happens mainly in five star books. All that gives this book an extra star.

I did struggle in the middle of this book and wasn't sure I would finish at one point. It may be in part that the game of cricket and a number of equipment associated with it is the basis of so much of the book and I don't know the second thing about cricket.

I would like to see the series made into a film or series with Martin Freeman (yes, he was Arthur in the last movie) and Benedict Cumberbatch as Ford. I'm open to suggestions for Zaphod, but I think Matt Berry from The IT Crowd would pull it off.

Overall, this is a fun read even after struggling through the middle. Paid learning about cricket would help that.
