Summary: Hilariously funny!
Review: Although I havn't heard all of the the audio cassettes for a few years now, I have read through all of the books in the last few days. I know a lot of people who have read this book (mostly because I've persuaded them to!!), but I don't know a single person that hasn't liked it. If you want to laugh through five books, or five book's worth of tape, then buy this now!!

Summary: Mostly Harmless
Review: Everybody's in search of something. For some it's meaning, for others it's a place in the universe, and for the rest of us, it's a digital watch. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy really illustrates that unsure feeling that we all have. Arthur Dent was lost enough on Earth, but after it's demolished, he in desperate need of finding a speck of understanding throughout the rest of the Galaxy. Good luck without your towel there, buddy boy.I really dug this book. It didn't take you straight from point A to point B, as some novels do. It had twisty unpredictable swerves that gave you a glimpse of points X, Q and H, along the way, even though Q and H had nothing to do with anything. They were there for appreciation. For example, a nuclear bomb makes a quick transformation to a sperm whale before any damage is done. The reader is fully exposed to the Sperm whales thoughts and inner ramblings... all thirty seconds of them. It's beautifully absurd, and I loved it. I fully enjoyed the nonsense and the silliness of the book. Little details, especially. An incredibly depressed robot, the hailing of digital watches, eager to please doors; all these things didn't necessarily prove incredibly important on the character's quest, but amusing, nonetheless. Without the silliness, this may have been another book about post-Earth days and the last thing we need is just another book about post-Earth days. Have no fear, this is not just another book.

Summary: I like dry british humor, I think this is a hoot.
Review: I haven't heard these cassettes, but I've read and reread all six books in this trilogy. I've always found them funny.

Summary: British writing at its best!
Review: I Love This Book! I have read the first five books in this "trilogy" and I think they're all great, although the first is my favourite. I have never found an author for whom I find all works to be so enjoyable as Douglas Adams. I have also read two of the Dirk Gently "adventures", which only increased my admiration for Adams. If only there were more authors like him out there; his works truly are the best of British humour.

Summary: GIDDYUP !
Review: I must say that this is one of the greatest books I've read. At first I thought " thousand pages,that's too much, I don't have the energy to do this". So I sat down and started to read, This is quite good, I thought. Ten hours later I just had to admit it, the book had had me mesmerized, I just couldn't put it down ! For those who haven't read this book, I highly recommend you do ! I say: Giddyup !

Summary: An amazing journy of the mind
Review: The Hitch Hikers Guide is an amazing book; it ensnares the mind and doesn't let go. The book takes you all the way from the last seconds of earth to the end of the universe, and all in a strange and humors way. The book uses backwards logic and at some points makes so little sense that it makes perfect sense. I loved the variety of characters, the detail, and the abstract thoughts. The book takes and explains the secrets of the universe and even better how to travel it. In this book you will find the answer to the meaning of life, how to get a lift from a space ship, and why no hitchhiker should ever be without a towel. I recommend this book to anyone who thinks of the abstract or abnormal, or for that matter anyone who has an inkling of creativity in their minds. Recommended to ages 15 and up.

Summary: Top British sci-fi humour
Review: This is the ultimate in sci-fi and humour. If you like the idea of paranoid androids, Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts and 42 as the answer to all your questions, then look no further ! Once you try to explain this book to your friends, they'll think you've had a Pan Galactic Garggle Blaster too many !
