That's a great book. I kept reading it and wondering if anything ever happens, then BAM! It happened, and I couldn't put the book down - I stayed up until 2:00 am finishing it.
Even if it felt like nothing was happening, I loved the book. I thought the character development was great, and the dialog never felt too forced. I hope HBO does a good job on the movie. John C. Reilly would have been perfect for Miles...but Ed Harris is a decent decision.
Anyway...right now I'm re-reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and I, Robot. I've read the entire HHGTTG series many times, but it's been about five years, so I decided it was time again.
I first read I, Robot in 10th grade, and I gotta tell you, it doesn't hold up so well to my adult mind. I decided to re-read it because I didn't recognize a damn thing from the book in the movie previews. I'm guessing they just bastardized one of the short stories and lifted the name. I guess I'll find out when it hits DVD or HBO.
