Rating: - MY favourite book of all time
I read and reread this book. When I first discovered it, my world was opened up, Adams had the most fantastic way of looking at life and I have never found others books that caused me to laugh out loud as this does.

His writing is so light and frothy, ridiculously easy to glide through, requiring almost no effort by the reader; one simply slips in and that is it - you are lost forever. The text has been ... Read More

Rating: - The FSFH Book Review says:
Where the legend started.
Arthur Dent is the quintessential Englishman; he can deal with any crisis provided he's allowed three things, 1) the freedom to complain, 2) the freedom to be bewildered and 3) access to a nice cup of tea.
There are so many hilarious moments in this book that I couldn't possibly convey a fraction of it's wittiness here, but phrases like 'the great yellow spaceships hung in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don't' give you ... Read More
