The science!
Didn't realise this was going to become non-fiction

I used to love this film as I like the fact the science was quite good. I like Kate Winslet's character and her difficulties in attempting to explain the severity of the situation to politicians. I like the ending where it shows how the virus jumped to humans. I found that I wanted the punch Jude Law throughout the film but am glad that he at least wasn't completely able to get away with it.

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.

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.
