If [b:the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|11|The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy, Book 1)|Douglas Adams|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1156039839s/11.jpg|3078186] took place in a fantasy universe, it might be something like the Discworld series. This book introduces us to Rincewind the Wizard, a bumbling, inept wizard who stumbles his way through being a forced tourguide for Twoflower, a naive, trusting visitor from a foreign land.

The main plot takes a back seat to the comedy, and it is quite funny. Still it becomes a bit too random for my tastes through the middle. Some of the humour comes from the silly nature of the plot, but I often found myself confused and/or rolling my eyes.
