    This book was completely different that I thought it would be, but not in a bad way. I love the sort of British humor that involves completely outlandish characters and plots and this book does a pretty good job of it. I highly recommend the audio version as well. Any book read in a British accent is better.

  • i dont understand why this book appealed to techers, to the extent that they even allowed it to be used as the theme of the little t at some point. i can sense that the author is trying to be funny, but i just dont get the jokes.

    maybe i'll finish it someday when i have more patience to offer

  • I know where my towel is, babelfish is at the ready, and I threw out my book of Vogan poetry!!! This book is a must for anyone who like sci-fi and general sillyness!

  • Interesting ideas, sometimes hilarious, but often too silly for my tastes.

On Thursday at lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has already had his house demolished that morning, this seems to be more than he can cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun, and the Galaxy is a very strange and startling place. A $60-million PG movie from Walt Disney pictures is releasing in May 2005. It stars Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, Sam Rockwell as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast and the supercool hip-hop artist Mos Def as Ford Prefect. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was voted the nation's fourth most popular book by the BBC's Big Read and the Young Picador edition will bring this perennially popular novel to a brand-new teenage readership. Over fourteen million copies of Douglas Adamss books have been sold worldwide.
