This is a highly entertaining book by the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There is a lot of similar humor in this book, covering a lot of new material.

Douglas Adams was a genius. I wish he had written more books. This one is worth it. It's not as accessible as Hitchhikers, but it is just as good. Most days I wish I lived in Douglas Adams universe.

A different series from the Hitchhiker's Guide author. Interesting and clever.

Very funny. Very fun. Do spend some time with this other character of Douglas Adams'. If you enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide, you'll like this too.

This is a great book and definitely a good read if you like any of Douglas Adams other books.

It's refreshing to read Douglas Adams and his bizarre sense of story. From seemingly random story lines in the beginning, they all come together in the end...sort of. I'm not sure I understand it all, but time-travelling tends to do that to you. Anyway, a nice, funny, Douglas Adams read.

I'm a big fan of Adams. i met him on the set of Mike Douglas years ago. The best part of the show was during comercial breaks. The man is absolutely hilareous. I don't think he could help it. This book though, left me in the dirt. I just never was able to get onboard. I was dissapointed in that British humor is usually juvinile; very easy to follow and rather like Benny Hill. It's good for a chuckle but certainly not difficult. I could never get into this one. Not sure why. I tried. G-d knows I tried. Nuthin'

Strange, very, very strange. Then again, that's Douglas Adams.

If you are a Douglas Adams fan, you have to read this one. There ain't no more coming from him, sadly enough.
