the delightfully quirky first book of adams' "trilogy of five". zany science-fiction, a must-read.

I thought that this book was amusing, but even though Ive read that others compare it to Terry Pratchetts humor, I cant say that it was as enjoyable. It definitely has the dry humor that is fun, but its not on my greatest list of reads. However, it is interesting enough for me to continue reading the series because I did like the movie. I guess I was just expecting the book to be a lot better than the film was.

Original with funny ideas.

This was relatively well written if you like an extended allegory. I tire almost immediately of the outrageously made-up names of planets, people.

Just as good as the movie.

First time I ever laughed while reading. Great, great book.

BTW, I wrote my name in Sharpie on the top of the book.
