The More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide

A must-read for anyone who loves science fiction, comedy, and craziness! The movie is fine, but these five books in one are a dozen times better!

Great book, but this copy was totally not what was described. The binding is breaking, the book is quite literally falling apart. Makes it a little difficult to appreciate

Although I am an avid reader, and have an ever-growing collection of books, I rarely read anything more than once. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series is definitely an exception, since I have read every book numerous times over the years. I recommend this series to people of all ages, since I still get as much enjoyment out of it now as I did the first time I picked up the first book about 12 years ago, when I was a sophmore in high school. Even people who aren't big science fiction buffs will get a kick out of the hilarious escapades of Arthur Dent, and his unique assortment of companions. This series is definitely a must read for everyone!

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.

This collection of sharp, witty, and observant books merits a space on every bookshelf. I am VERY disappointed to find that itis 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 makehuman existance seem so amusing, and yet so futile at the same time. He takes life, gives it a large drink, spins it around a fewtimes, 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 thekind of drunk you get from having a couple of stiff Gossers after not having eaten for two days straight on account of being apenniless 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 functioningbrain. Actually, all carbon-based life-forms should be exposed to this book at some point or another...Enjoy... I know I did!

This is the absolute best book. Definite read for anyone. Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like bananas. -Groucho MarxThe ship hung in the air much the same way that bricks don't. -Douglas Adams
