Who doesn't love Harry Potter? Though, this is my least favorite of the series. That I remember. It has been quite some time since I've read them.

I have fond memories of these books. My family didn't "discover" them until, I believe, book 4. After that we attended all of the midnight releases for the rest of the series at a local book store. I was sad to see it go. The series ... and the book store.

I enjoyed this book more this time around than I remember previously. I love Dobby, dislike Gini and feel a rather remarkable resemblance between myself and Hermione. If you're going to do something, gather information and then do it right.

My boyfriend and I have two sets of this series in Hardback and we borrow the e-books from Kindle Unlimited.

Love, love, love this world & will soon be on my way to reading #3.

I love EVERYTHING about Rainbow Rowell's books. This was my least favorite so far, but I rank it only slightly below the others.

This story made me wonder - if I did have a magical landline phone (or e-mail, or cell), would I want to talk to anybody from my past? Is there anything that I would want to change?

I think the answer is no. But I also know that I would have chosen work over my phone.

How nice it would be if life had a hold button so we could figure things out. But, it doesn't work that way. And I think that's partly what I disliked about this story - that it's just not relatable. Yes, I know there's a magic phone. No, the magic phone is not what I'm talking about. I mean that life goes on ... our dream jobs and sometimes our friends don't just sit around and wait for us to figure things out ...

or to take a phone call.

One of the reasons I love this book is because my Dad loves this book. My sister and I grew up watching Doctor Who and Star Trek and reading Hitchhikers.

Reading the book, and even just thinking about it, also reminds me of the BBC take on the movie. I love that movie.

There's not much to say about Hitchhikers. I feel that every nerd has either read it or should read it and that it's an absolute must read, must own, must watch, must listen to & must pass down generation after generation.
