Description: "Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid"Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms."...

Description: I liked the thoughts about the future for humanity, though it was a bit slow until the firstI liked the thoughts about the future for humanity, though it was a bit slow until the first chapter (18) about the aliens. That chapter got me hooked! Didn't care very much for the remote side plot of the genius wandering off trying to find any reason to the attack though, that could have been writter a bit better. Anyway, I *really* recommend this if you have patience to let the story build up....
