What I find confusing about certain books is when the author switches around a lot. Books are meant to be relaxing and enjoyed, and when the author doesn't stay on the same topic long enough to understand what is happening I get confused. In the book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the author, Douglas Adams, had a variety of characters with odd names. When a book has too many characters I find it unappealing and distracting. When I read I like to understand the situation and enjoy what I'm reading and this book didn't always let me.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is about planets that get taken over and how everyone reacts to whatever gets thrown their way. I think that the idea for the book was smart, but the author could have done more to blow me away with his writing. I enjoy reading, but this book was a pain to read. I didn't want to have to sit down and read like I usually do. I didn't have a strong compulsion to read this book because of the way it was written at times.
