The beginning to what turns into a great series. The Hitchhiker's franchise is that kind of thing that people either fall in love with or can't stand. I'm in the former camp. The humor, characters and pacing are at their absolute best here.

It's also a really quick read, so if you end up being in the camp that can't stand it, at least you didn't waste too much time!

it was ok.... wished i would have read it before seeing the movie.... i could only see the characters as they were cast in the movie which i think kinda bogged the book down. it still was a fun read though!.... lots of funny existential or absurd ideas , random tangents and puns.

I can’t believe it took me so long to read this book. It’s the Sci-Fi version of Monty Python, weird humour that will stick with you for years and years to come. It’s really hard to review this book, all I can say the movie is terrible compared to the brilliant humour of [a:Douglas Adams|4|Douglas Adams|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1189120061p2/4.jpg]. I’m really looking forward to reading book two sometimes soon. Well worth reading.
