Rating: Summary: The funniest book I have ever read Review: I read it about 25 times and always found something new. Couldn't think of something better to do then read this book.
Rating: Summary: Very good Review: It is very funny very well done and dangling on a plot so funny it makes you laugh thinking about it
Rating: Summary: A Must Read! Funny with a purpose! Review: This book is great. The Hitchhiker's Guide is a classic sci-fi book. It is hilarious. The neat thing is that nothing occurs like you thought it would. For all of you who think it has no real plot, I think it shows how small we are in this great big universe, while at the same time it says that we shouldn't spend all of our time trying to figure out "Why?" so much. Maybe there isn't a real answer. It also shows how maybe we aren't the top species on this planet. You must read this book.
Rating: Summary: Overhyped, absurd, abstract, bizarre. Review: This book did have some moments to it that I really did find enjoyable. Unfortunitaly it had to many more moments that I just found plain boring. I really wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. But even with the bizarre settings and snappy humor, I still found the main plotline to be just a little dull. And, some of the events that happened in this storyline where just to absurd to be taken as humorous. Once again, the book did have it's moments. But even with flashes of brilliance I still consider the book to be mildly dull.
Rating: Summary: Bizarre Review: This book made me laugh; but it left me wondering what on earth the point was! Just laughter? Laughter, with a thin plotline wonven in to help it make any sense at all? Well, OK, that's nice: the world can use a whole lot more laughter overall. So if you're looking for an amusing afternoon read, this book will do nicely. But if you're looking for any kind of plot at all...choose something--anything--else.
Rating: Summary: 42! Review: I absolutely LOVED this book! I haven't laughed so much since I read James Finn Garner's books. My favorite part was the entry about the Babble Fish.
Rating: Summary: A brilliant work of brilliant contradiction Review: Douglas Adams prooves, Mathematically, that NOTHING exists. Any man that can accomplish this is a genius. I tested his math and it works out. Also the book provides many other interesting ideas to bounce around. NOT TO MENTION IT IS THE SECOND FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN, SECOND ONLY TO MONTY PYTHON.
Rating: Summary: HU TA! Review: This is my absolute favorite book! Just read the introduction, and you'll be hooked. How can one not like this book? The shear insanity and humour of the book is reason enough to get it. This book's got all the good stuff: comedy, confusion, Vogons, 42, a great story line, many explanations about stuff you'd never think about, and blah, blah, blah! Just a great book, and if you like this one, read the other four! They're great!
Rating: Summary: Fabulous, hilarious book. Review: If you're considering buying this book it is worth the investment. The only problem with it is that you will want to read all of the rest of the trilogy. This is probably the best book I've ever read with the possible exception of "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" which is even more bizarre and delightful.
Rating: Summary: This book is really, really fantastic! Review: If you enjoy reading books and haven't read anything with Douglas Adams you really should start with this book. It's something else than most other books and sence i read this one I've kept on reading him. So, buy it and... enjoy!
