Summary: The Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Review: For those of you who look to the sky and wonder what's out there... DON'T PANIC! This book will explain everything including why this review doesn't really matter and why the mice are writing it for me. Even if you don't like Sci-Fi (or humor for that matter) this brilliant piece of work will entertain you for the rest of you life as people ask why you have a towel wrapped around you head and why the dolphins are REALLY doing those inane tricks. All in all a great book. (Don't forget the other four books in the trilogy - and yes, I know "trilogy" means only three books but I didn't write the stuff!)

Summary: Presented with one VERY serious scientific flaw...
Review: Mr. Adams ignored the most serious concern of spacewalk, despite its over-40-years history. Remember Arthur and Ford being thrown out of the Vogon ship and worring about asphyxiation? They shouldn't have, since their inner body pressure would BLOW THEM UP INTO VERY SMALL PIECES in the first nanosec. This is why our astronauts even bother to wear SPACESUITS in stead of just oxygen masks.

Summary: It was side ticklingly funny!
Review: This book is a pure piece of genius , Douglas Adams is a amazingly funny writer.

Rating:
Summary: Forty Two.
Review: It takes a very disturbed mind to concoct such ideas as the babel fish and put them all together into one of the most hilariously nonsensical books ever written. Adams grabs your attention in all his books, and you'd be so engrossed, you wouldn't know it if Thor smashed your cranium in with his hammer. If you didn't find his books funny, you probably have a very wet towel over your head. Get rid of it. A great read... and a great laugh.

Summary: DROP DEAD FUNNY!!
Review: A must-read for any sci-fi fan. Adams is a master with the humor. Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox, the android (whose name escapes me), and even the sappy ship's computer Eddie are all hilarious characters. "Hi there!" and so on and so forth. Pick this up, read it, and remember, DON'T PANIC.

Summary: One of the funniest books ever
Review: This, along with the other books in the trilogy, is arguably the funniest book ever written. Parts of it are a little boring, but the majority of it is absolutly hilarious. Even if you are someone who normally doesn't like science fiction, such as myself, you will still probably find tis very funny

Summary: Random Acts Of Witty Repartee & Crazy Plotlines Don't=Good
Review: Books. All the cute nerdy boys I had crushes on in middle school carried this series around as though it were a bible. So, being an inquisitive young lass (and also trying to suck up to them) I forced myself to read the entire series too. Imagine my shock to discover they are just totally silly and pointless flights of fancy with little insight & all the dated humor of a bad Monty Python sketch. I personally blame this book for my switch to dating obnoxious metalhead morons in high school and my 13yr aversion to an otherwise fascinating genre, science fiction. Read "Whipping Star" by Frank Herbert instead, if you're looking for comedic and zany sci/fi that's not empty-headed.

Summary: THE BEST EVER, EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE SCI-FI.
Review: TO LIMIT THIS BOOK TO A SCI-FI GENRE IS LIKE SAYING CINDY CRAWFORD IS ONLY ATTRACTIVE TO MEN WHO HAPPEN TO LIKE BRUNETTES. I'M NOT A SCI-FI FAN, I'VE ONLY SEEN ABOUT A DOZEN "STAR TREK" EPISODES, BUT THIS TRILOGY IS A CONSTANT COMPANION ANY TIME I NEED A LAUGH OR SOME LATERAL VIEWS ON LIFE. READ IT OVER AND OVER AND IF YOU OPEN YOUR MIND ENOUGH IT WILL CHANGE AND IMPROVE YOU OWN OUTLOOK ON THE OVER-EMPHASIZED TRIVIALITIES OF EVERYDAY LIVING!

Rating:
Summary: The greatest sci-fi book ever!
Review: Even though I first read the Finnish version of this book, and afterward English, it is the greatest sci-fi book ever written. Even the races that live in it are made with great sense of humor.

Rating:
Summary: A fantastic and hilarious sci-fi novel.
Review: Few books have kept me laughing as much as this one. A hilarious and zany account of the end of the world and one of its reluctant survivors as he begins his journeys through the universe, and learns the truth behind the creation of the Earth. If you haven't read this, READ IT! It is humorous, clever, and well-written.
