A suicidal robot, an earthman, and a disguised extraterrestrial make for an entertaining read. Adams' style of writing kept me turning the pages, especially with the Infinite Improbability Drive as an amusing and rather convenient driver of the plot.
I'm glad to have read this cultural classic. What I didn't know was that this was the first book in a trilogy! It felt like I was running out of pages towards the end for the plot to resolve itself, but that explains it. Perhaps I'll read the other 2 sometime.

Overhyped, unfunny. At least now I'll understand references to it.
A good collection of subversion sci-fi jokes and ideas with a severe lack of strong characterization or relationships. The first 50 pages are amazing and then it slowly loses steam. I honestly feel like Futurama took what this book did and improved on it. Far from bad though, I think it is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read; I just wish there was more.
