Non-Realistic Classic
The first time I read this book, I took everything at face value. I thought anything I would be reading for an English class would be a realistic piece of literature. Boy, was I wrong. This science fiction WWII book launched my love for Kurt Vonnegut’s body of work, and I am so glad for it.

Some advanced science and math concepts come into playing, making it a bit of a challenge. (0 more)
SO silly. Honestly just too absurdist for me. BUT if you are a nerd, or care for someone who is, you should probably read it at least once to keep up with the references. (0 more)
A classic but not for me

Read this in one day! I loved the premise of this novel and the mystery. It is science fiction but based somewhere close to reality. The characters don't fly around in spaceships or anything like that. This was a fast read and really grabbed my attention. I'm looking forward to the sequel coming out in December!

Wonderful Story!
This book is hilarious from the first page to the last! The story of Arthur Dent and unfortunate events that lead up to him traversing the galaxy grab the reader! If you enjoy Science Fiction, humor, and a writing style akin to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, definitely give this a read.

Good, but not 100% gripping
The storyline kept me reading, but it wasn't one of those books that you can't put done. I would definitely put it on my bookshelf at home, but there's still something that leaves me wanting more.

As a fan of Science Fiction, I'm glad I won this giveaway because it was definitely something new!

This was a Goodreads Giveaway that I won. I really enjoyed this and it surprised me by the end, certain aspects came about that I didn't think would. About Hannah and Cora...the concept of cannies still feels sort of science fiction even though AI has come a long way and is still evolving and improving.
