It took a bit for me to get into it, but I enjoyed the book. It had just the right amount of comedy and sarcasm mixed with action and adventure.

I didn't like the film the first time I watched it, in fact I didn't even make it through the whole movie. Eventually (many years later) I tried watching it again and I fell in love with it. So naturally (in my effort to complete as much of the BBC reading list as possible) I decided to read the book. And like the movie, I didn't like it to start. But the more I read, the better it got.

I'm glad I didn't give up on it because it was worth the read.
