5.0 out of 5 stars Life, The Universe, and HILARITY, October 21, 2001

This review is from: More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide: Complete & Unabridged (Bonded Leather)

This collection of sharp, witty, and observant books merits a space on every bookshelf. I am VERY disappointed to find that it
is out of print, as the copy I have is a beautiful black cushioned-leather covered, bible-page style with gold page edges.
Needless to say, I'm preserving it as much as I can! Douglas Adams is one of my favorite authors, with his ability to make
human existance seem so amusing, and yet so futile at the same time. He takes life, gives it a large drink, spins it around a few
times, and watches what happens. Adams is not above self-humiliation either:

"The idea for the title first cropped up when I was lying drunk in a field in Innsbruck, Austria. Well, not really drunk, just the
kind of drunk you get from having a couple of stiff Gossers after not having eaten for two days straight on account of being a
penniless hitchhiker. We are talking of a mild inability to stand up."

I THOROUGHLY recommend this book to ANYONE with a sense of humor, a mind for Sci-Fi, or an adequately functioning
brain. Actually, all carbon-based life-forms should be exposed to this book at some point or another...

Enjoy... I know I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy, zany, Sci-Fi comedy at its best!, June 22, 1997

If you haven't read this book, you are missing out on a lot. Many allusions are made to this series and many jokes and catchphrases are based off of this series of books. Other than that, this book is a great read anyways, and if you are ever feeling down, there is nothing better to make you feel better. This is definitely one of my personal favorites in my book collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few books that make me laugh out loud!, October 27, 2001

If everone could see the world as Douglas Adams did, we'd all be better off. Mix dry British humor with a group of idiosyncratic characters, drop them into the space-time continium and you get non-stop laughs. At times I often found myself with a grin from ear to ear! Sometimes laughing out-loud!! Even a die hard science fiction fan needs a little bit of humor to keep a perspective.
