Wonderful!

The Hitchhiker's guide is funny and completely odd, but smart. This combination makes it a very different reading experience, it really does not have that much in the way of story of plot development, but the writing is just so fantastic and smart. It may not be a long read, but it is a more complex read then it seems. Its not for everyone and it may help to know that it is a strange ride to begin with. Remember DON'T PANIC and don't forget your towel.

I love it!

All the books plus a separate story together in one volume! What else could I wish for? If you enjoyed the movie, (okay, okay, there are always some differences between movie and book) you are going to love the books. It's that kind of ironic humour that makes you laugh through intelligent remarks, not silly statements.






Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy 5-Volume Collection

These books are still as funny as they were when I read them in school 25 years ago.

Bought the compendium for my wife as an Xmas gift, she had seen the movie but had not read the books. In the first week she read 2 of them, couldn't put it down.

If you are anything but a Fox news viewing NASCAR mark, you will love the dry and slightly sarcastic humor in Douglas Adam's work.

Inspired lunacy

Possibly the best sci-fi comedy ever written. But toward the end of the series, it becomes so much more, as great plotting and rich characterization are thrown into the mix.

The first two books are just plain lunacy, short on plotting, but heavy on Adams' great comic dialogue and wacky sci-fi premises (three stars each). The third is just as crazy, but with the added bonus of a plot thrown in! And Arthur actually saves the universe for good measure (four stars). The fourth and fifth novels are much richer in characterization, and continue the great plotting of the third (four stars each). You can see my reviews of the individual books for more detail, but to make a long story short, this is definitely a series not to be missed!
