Not as good as I remember from my first read-through. The first two books are great! Then the second two tail off and it becomes a strange read. It’s still a classic

Utter rubbish. This must be the most over-hyped book that I've ever read and I'm glad I only paid 50p for it. I was already losing interest in the book after just a few chapters never mind reading the whole lot.Every time there was a reading from the Hitchhiker's guide,I wanted to thump someone on the head with it.I kept praying that the spaceship would crash and end the bloody misery for me but no such luck!I just hated this from the moment I picked it up and discarded it to the nearest charity shop.
0 out of 5-didn't get far enough to even get 1 star! Hated it!

I adore this book. It's one that I've read over and over and will probably be forever my favourite. It's a book for when you need an easy read with an entertaining and funny story.

This is up there one of those books I can read over and over again. It is long enough that I forget little parts and short enough that I can read the entire things in a couple of days. Also, really entertaining.

This book is amazingly utterly geniously wibbly wobbly timey wimey and i am not really sure what i've read or what's going on but yeah it was funny and I loved Marvin and and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy entries and the man who loved norway and oh it was brilliant!
I feel like i need to read it again, i kind of forgot entirely what i just read but god it was british and it was fun to read it.

The Hitchhiker's Guide is een absolute klassieker. Het eerste boek had ik al eens gelezen, fijn om nu de andere delen ook te leren kennen. Al is het eerste deel het beste. Ik denk niet dat ik er veel woorden aan moet vuil maken: het boek is grappig. Voor fans van SF en droge Britse humor: een absolute must.

"life", said Marvin dolefully, "loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it."
It's great, and I love it. Have loved it when I first read the german translation at age 13, still love it now. There are two possible reasons for this: either this is a timeless piece of art, or my sense of humour hasn't changes since I was 13. Either way, it's getting five stars for purely nostagic reasons, and because of Marvin.
