This was fine — I'm not a superfan of the Hitchhiker's franchise by any means, though I thought the first few books were fun, so I just wasn't all that invested to start with? (Not sure why I picked this up in the first place, tbh.)

Still, it's always interesting to read about a writer's personal history and writing process, about the growth of a fandom/community, about how a cultural phenomenon develops and changes; in that sense, this is a wonderfully edifying book. My appreciation for Adams and his work has certainly increased.
