One Thursday lunchtime Earth is unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this is already more than he can cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. And the Galaxy is a very, very large and startling place indeed ...
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy became a massive cult success when it was first published and continues to sell all over the world. It introduced such memorable characters as Arthur Dent, Marvin the Paranoid Android, Zaphod Beeblebrox and, of course, the Vogons, and remains one of the funniest, most irreverent and entertaining novels ever.

This book is INSANE. I'm a very careful reader, I remember all the details and try to fit them together. Mr Adams here has just overloaded my circuit. I can't even make sense of it any more.
Definitely reading the next book though.

That said, it's not for everyone. I remember that I was one of the few in the class that did love it. Most hated it. But the humour spoke to me. So give it a try. You can always stop reading, but everyone should give it a go.
