Review # 2 was written on 2016-11-16 00:00:00 Cwengile Gagela Hey, Michael Hanlon: I don't care what you think! I didn't pick up this book to learn the opinion of someone I've never heard of. I picked it up because it says "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on it and I'm a dork. Despite warnings from my brother, I still read the book which did have a few interesting moments but bizarrely I felt I had more answers to my burning questions reading Adams' series than this book. Not only does Hanlon gloss over scientific concepts assuming his readers have at least a high-school level (maybe higher) understanding of Physics, it is an insult to Douglas Adams and overall disingenuous to claim that his inspiration comes from the science raised in Adams' books. There are plenty of other more interesting books (many cited in his bibliography). Go read those and skip this one (though I can hardly trust you'll listen to me since I of course didn't listen to my brother).
