Es hätte so ein schöner Tag werden können - bis Arthur Dent feststellt, dass sein Haus abgerissen werden soll. Macht aber eigentlich nichts, weil kurz darauf auch die Erde gesprengt wird, um einer Hyperraum-Umgehungsstraße Platz zu machen. Diesem Schicksal kann Dent gerade noch entgehen - dank seines außerirdischen Freundes Ford Prefect und des intergalaktischen Weltreiseführers.
Всё-таки тяжело мне даются аудиокниги. Бумажная версия претендовала бы на 5
Absolutely loved this! It made me laugh out loud multiple times. Adams' writing style is excellent and makes me want to read the other books in the series.
It's the original BBC audio production of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Before books and movies, there was this.
If you haven't listened to it, you really should treat yourself.
A brilliant book, reminds me of Rincewind.
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!
Éste libro cambió mi vida. Desde entonces no he entrado por una puerta sin agradecimiento. Y mi respeto por los eventos de probabilidad baja ha incrementado a casi llegar a la cantidad de información que otorgan.
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've started laughing, I can't stop, and now it HURTS.
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.
I don’t know how many times I’ve read this book. At least twice, but probably 3 times.
It’s very funny and so so good.
Having picked up Robert Rankin's early stuff again and realised it is mainly a load of old toot, I then turned to Douglas Adams. Now, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a kind of subset of 'Doctor Who'' and if you know that it makes more sense, with Ford (possibly) as a Doctor figure who has flunked out on his responsibility to the galaxy - or so he thinks. I was reminded of it by the whole Terminator shtick where the Terminator decides to help humanity, rather than thinking 'You lot are complete bastards, you can all die and the sooner the better'' ... which is something you would get at least one character thinking in HHGTTG.
It's complicated ... it certainly is, as a varied cast has adventures around the Galaxy in a story that may well have been influenced by Robert Sheckley's "Dimension of Miracles" (1968), but …
