Now i have a mild confession on this, I have read book one before however I had never read the entire collection because as I have said in a previous post I am not the biggest reader so decided that all five books would be a fitting challenge to be added to the list.
Now I was surprised going through the books that I did not enjoy all of them as much as i thought I would. I love the first book however the next two though still very much in the same vein as the first to me just were not as enjoyable to read. It just felt like I was reading it but not truly taking anything in. “So Long and Thanks for all the Fish” was however a great way to end the quadrillogy, it is a joy to read.
Now I have said end but it is not truly the end of the story, after Douglas Adam’s unfortunate death the contents of his Mac hard drive was collated after a herculean effort onto a CD-ROM and much of it was collated into the final instalment of the book “The Salmon of Doubt”. When you start reading you find a lot out about the character of Douglas Adams and how he became the person he became. Unfortunately while you are reading this section you are slowly wondering where the next section of the H2G2 story is, and i can tell you in my copy at least this starts on page 203.
However what starts on this page is not a hitchhiker book but a dirk gently book. A slight disappointment but never mind. This had lead to me now wanting to read the entire Dirk Gently series but that will probably have to wait till the new year!
I don't feel the same about books 2 and 3 however I do strongly agree that the first one is lovable.
ReplyDeleteAfter getting the first 4 books in a set in the early noughties I didn't get 'Mostly Harmless' still around 2005 and read them all through in sequence. I almost didn't want to read it as by keeping its contents unknown I could imagine all sorts of bizarrities and never know how close they were to the real thing. I envy your position of still having an unread book but book five, in my humble opinion is most enjoyable.
Happy Reading!
