Jul 27, 2016TEENREVIEWCREW rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
A comedy tale (considered classic science fiction) about the events that follow two humans who have escaped the destruction of Earth, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a very famous book that is written with masterful satire. The book goes into immense detail about how all of the scientific fictional elements of the author’s world work. It also raises and juggles many very important philosophical, moral, and scientific questions and ideas, but all done in a relatively comedic fashion with little to no seriousness. For those who are concerned, character development is not one of the key aspects of this book, and those looking for well-drawn out details about each character through testing and intense situations will be relatively disappointed with the very quick ideas that come pounding one after another. Personally, I did not enjoy reading it as much, but there are very many people out there that enjoy the book for all of the reasons above. Thus, the book should be reasonably rated 4/5, and most likely higher, for its satirical/blunt humor, its ingenious adventures told through a story with its own personality, and an enjoyable read. - @interneuron of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
