The original Douglas Adams. Comedy in the form of wacky Sci-Fi.

Funny, silly, and very 1970's. Interesting reading it now versus then.

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.
