The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: 42nd Anniversary Edition (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 1)

Amazing book. Sci fi and humor combined. Between the search for meaning and recognition lies Doughlas. Worth reading. I gifted it to a friend too and he liked it.

Somehow missed to get to this book so long. I really enjoyed reading this one. Not sure this book is for all folks. A few for sure ;)

It was probably the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor – of which no Earthman had ever heard either" This book is one of a Kind, and should belong to self help category. It's absolutely accurate account of hitchhiking are improbably helpful. Although very few people are found to have understood how? But as long as you know, there are plenty of other planets for you to migrate too, where immigration policies are professionally viable. Hitchhiking is the best way to travel the universe unless you are unfortunate enough to live in reality. It will turn your brain inside out and will make its outside inside just to make sure you are able to scratch your head again! It is also, One of the greatest book ever written, which will give you the answer to the greatest question? The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything! I think, Not being a native English speaker I missed(unable to understand) some language based humour and punches, but overall I found it very amusing and sometimes hilarious! (80% funny, That's why 2 to the power of 276709 stars to one against, so ... "Whatever" - improbability factor equals four. Hence, 4 stars.)

My first ever humour read. It's like a Monty pythonish absurd fun. I enjoyed a lot and it led me to look at other humour books.

I wish this book happened at a more impressionable age in my life. I wasn't a young reader and I regret that but whatever it is, I am glad this book chose me even if through an Infinite Improbability Drive. I am in awe and the less I speak of it, the better. This is a classic for a reason. Be it for the deadpan, very English and very novel style of humor or the deep philosophy hidden behind the surface level frivolousness or just the absurdity. Adams's conception of the Universe transcends every conceivable boundary of creativity and language. I am eventually going to read the rest of the four books in the Trilogy.

Good

The thing that struck me most about this science fiction was its accuracy in predicting how robots, machines and humans would interact with each other in the future. Touch sensitive screen, intelligent personal robots, interspatial travel and what not. The Book also has a good dose of humor and the story keeps the reader hooked The only reason I did not give a five rating was because Adam's prose and style has slightly become outdated and I am more used to reading books written in my current style. But i cannot blame the author for it

The story very elegantly shifts between characters making it an easy read. The realisation of knowing the right questions to ask is a profound one
