Enjoyable and a bit odd. Sometimes intense

★★★☆☆: I thought it was an interesting premise but I also found it kind of boring in the second half. It is also possible, if not probable, that I just don't enjoy books I actually read as much since I get through them so slowly and with so few pages at a time. I am not in a hurry to read or listen to the next one though

★★★★☆:
While I am giving this four stars, I don't think I would recommend it to anyone without careful notice. It was intense!. I didn't know what to expect.
Also, despite the timing between this and the last, I listened to this in a single day.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Book 2
By: Douglas Adams
Narrated by: Martin Freeman
Series: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Book 2
Length: 5 hrs and 47 mins
Release date: 07-04-06
Enjoyable enough but nowhere near as good as Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (book 1). Not only did the barely talk about Trillian, but I didn't feel like they did much to develop the other characters either.

Solid, enjoyable, engaging, fun, read!
My comments to Ann.
I moved The Frozen River up on my list at your suggestion and finished it. It was very, very good. I kept being certain they were going to ruin it with a bad ending but I was very happy with it. I can’t say I guessed it early but once the barn seen started I guessed both the knife that would be used and had a rough guess as to what was to be severed. Happy to see (hear) it come to fruition.
This was on my TBR from "Goodreads top 80 of the last decade" and covered on Instagram, but I moved it up since Ann suggested it.

By: Fredrik Backman
Translated By: Neil Smith
Narrated by: Marin Ireland
Length: 13 hrs and 22 mins
Release date: 05-06-25
I absolutely enjoyed it. Very reminiscent of Anxious People in its style and prose. Nobody can say "idiot" with so much love and admiration as Fredrik Backman and/or the reading of Marin Ireland. Great reflection on life, friendship, and grief. I thought it was very sweet though occasionally drifted into both cheesy and saccharine. I would recommend it strongly but it missed the 5-stars for me.
