John Carnell did a wonderful adaptation of Douglas Adams' novel by the same name. I enjoyed this version of H2G2 allot, and think that this version of the story stays very true to the original novel. The story keeps the original theme and fun of the story, while compacting it down to a graphic novel that can be read in a few hours.
If after reading this you find that you liked the story you would probably find the original novel and the follow up books even more entertaining and humorous and probably should read them.

Science fiction lovers and haters alike will find that these books have a lot to offer. Douglas Adams' style is more humorous philosophy than science fiction. Arther Dent, a "perfectly ordinary Earth man" whose most remarkable feature is that he is remarkably unremarkable, involuntarily embarks on a voyage from the doomed planet Earth, only to encounter a range of strange, yet somehow familiar, humans and "aliens". He has some very good drinks with some very good friends, gets blown up, thrown out of an airlock, transported through time... He meets the creator of Earth, visits pre-historic Earth, a few alternative Earths, yet utterly fails to find a cup of tea. However, his towel undoubtedly lended a hand here and there. -Andrew R. Grantham

A set of extremely well written books I have ever read. The first thing I did was to get a collection of the whole set. The next thing I did was to read them all over again... and again.... and ....well you can decide that !!!

Haven't seen this style of writing in any other author. He is in a class by himself. Lets your imagination run wild !! And the 'galaxy' is the limit.

Also has the answer to the meaning of life !!?? Read it and find out.

I am only a 15 year old student, but I am already into science fiction some years back. This book is the most humorous that I have ever seen. I had borrowed the 5 in 1 series from the Library, and guess what? I read it over and over for more than three times! It's amazing how silly it sounds in the book, but actually quite make sense when every thing fitted like a jigsaw puzzle at the end! Highly recommended for those who love humour!
