A must Read

I LOVE this book. Douglas Adams is one of my favorite authors. I especially love how he seems to just thow things out of order in his books but they all connect at the end. It will leave you laughing and thinking. From the very first sentence he humorously shines a light on some of the harsh truths of humanity and leaves you wondering if we really are the superior species. A great book!!

I've found the answer to life, the universe, and everything!

I felt very out of place by never having read this book, so I finally decided to pick it up and give it a try.

I found it extremely funny, in a British humor sort of way, and entertaining.  I read this is two or three sittings because of the fast-paced writing and interest in the characters.

Very much worth a read!

The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything

Without any doubt one of the most absurdly funny books written to date; the first volume of a “trilogy in six parts” that follows the cosmic adventures of Arthur Dent after the earth is destroyed to make way for an interstellar highway.


This book will train your abdominal muscles and hold up a mirror. Highly recommended!

42!!

This is a great book.  Very British humor, but absolutely hilarious.

 Sometimes we are thrust into our Journeys, much like Arthur, rather than choosing them.  This book illustrates how even though we may not be willingly adventuring, it can be a wild and great ride.

Although it ends rather abruptly, the sequels pick up on the story, and are well worth reading.
