This is not actually the original novel. It's Douglas Adams reading excerpts from each of the novels in the series recorded live at the Almeida Theatre in London before an invited audience. I'd suggest it for the person that already knows all the books in the series and wants to complete their collection. Since it's just the really good bits, it's particularly suited for those times in the car when you're sitting in traffic, your sense of humor is just about nonexistent and you really, really need a good laugh.

I've always loved this particular iteration of HHGG and am glad to have found the item on Amazon finally. Taking disparate elements from the first three(?) books and using their common elements to craft an hour-or-so-long narrative from it, Adams takes the already-spectacular content and ups the ante.

I MUST admit that i have never read something as intriguingly and mindbogginly funny as the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. It's so intense that you won't stop reading before you've turned the last page.... and then you'll probably wanna start all over again Klaus Hougesen, Denamrk

One of the best books i've ever rea

This is a book I constantly go back to. It's almost a comfort, I know the characters so well. Very entertaining, funny and to stretch a bit...thoughtfull. You may learn nothing from it, (if you do, let me know) but it may keep you busy for a while.

You get to know the people(or non-people as it may be) and their lives in a singel page. Even if you have never picked up a book, this one will draw you in. It doesn't make much sense If you think too hard about it, so it's great to read anytime.
