I read this story back in the 90s along with the others in the story about a million times. This is one of the only books my father has ever read in his entire life so I had to read it! The writing style is so fluid and funny! I have lost so many copies of this book to people who borrow and never return! The movie was good, but you can’t get the feel of just how well this book was written by watching the movie. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK. And The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. And So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!

“I only know as much about myself as my mind can work out under its current conditions. And its current conditions are not good.”

Brilliant – creative, brainy humor, full of observations about human nature. Light, entertaining and satisfying.

It’s brilliantly written, very funny and full of the most fantastic ideas. Keep reading it over and over, and it never wears out.

a friend of mine read this years ago, and had mentioned it to me, but I read too much, and this suggestion got lost in the midst. After seeing the movie, I knew I had to read the books, so I picked up the ultimate guide. I finished all of the books so quickly, I kind of surprised myself. Fantastic, crazy nonsense story, that seems to always be looping back on itself.

Maybe a bit heavy style of story, but I think it sorespondes with the fact that Arthur feels the same as reader in some parts. Great humour, great story, great book. I’m wondering what’s going to happen than, so The Restaurant at the End of the Universe welcome.

even though I don’t usually like sci-fi. It was really imaginative, though I guess most books in that genre have to be. I loved the humor, especially the Babel fish proof (I’d just learned about using “QED” at the end of a proof) and the general acerbic witty remarks. Definitely worth reading. I have to go read the rest of the series now.

It’s really funny? Sci-fi isn’t usually my thing, though. All right, I’ll take your word for it. Heard a lot about this book and how everyone should read it. Guess I’ll go put my name on the hold list in the library, or something.

Currently reading this book and loving every moment. My brother has already read it and dying to get his hands on it again. :O)

amusing, I enjoyed Adams’ style… I liked it and have to read the rest of the series.

This thing is funnier than the reviews of my journal paper.

Hadn’t read it in a lot of years, and I wanted to laugh, so I picked up my old, dog-eared copy. It holds up quite well, really: still hilarious, even if mostly harmless.

A riduclously hilarious book.

This book is freakin’ hilarious! If you like what you read, Douglas Adams has much more out there to entertain you.

The book that started a sublimely hilarious sci-fi series. The permanent warping of my brain dates back to Adams’ “proof” that any human beings you meet are figments of your imagination.

It is impossible to read this book too many times.

42.

A classic. It has some loose ends, yes. And?

Every geek needs to read this there are so many references to Adams work on the web, most people simply overlook it.
