Plans for development of the outlying regions of the galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system, and regrettably your planet is scheduled for demolition.

Back in the late 70’s the Hitch-hikers guide began life as a radio show, written by Douglas Adams, who was also a script editor for Dr Who and previous jobs had included chicken shed cleaner (according to my copy of the book) The idea for the book came when he was lying on his back, drunk in a field near ... more

The quote came from a critics recommendation on one of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series, Terry Pratchett being the current king of the comic sci-fi / fantasy novel an honour previously accorded to Douglas Adams.

Douglas Adams R.I.P.

Advantages: Written by the late, great Douglas Adams
Disadvantages: There'll be no more of his unique humour

I've just seen the tragic announcement that Douglas Adams has died after a heart attack at the criminally young age of 49. I love the guy's writing and this is a very real loss to the literary world. An extraordinary talent cut brutally short. God bless you, Douglas, you've given me some real laughs, fun and enjoyment with your books. May you rest in peace. ************************************************************************* Douglas Adams considered ...
...stupor. Fair play to the guy. As we all know, we've had some fantastically brilliant ideas when under the influence, but very few are looked on in the same way the following morning. Thankfully for the literary world, this one was still a right corker. The book centres around the exploits of two friends, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect. Now Ford, unbeknownst to Arthur, is a galactic hitch-hiker, while Arthur is just your ordinary sort of bloke, who ...

Thumb through it

Advantages: 42
Disadvantages: none

...finished reading this book for the umpteenth time and it's still brilliant. I first came across this story when it was serialized on BBC Television, but it started out as a BBC Radio series. I was so taken with the TV series that I sought it out in the school library back in about 1985. (It was written in 1979). I found the book so absorbing, hilarious and just downright brilliant that I 'forgot' to take it back, and still have that original copy ...
...and the following 4 books in the trilogy. (Yes I said trilogy, yes there are 5 books in this innacurately-named trilogy). For those of you unfamiliar with Douglas Adam's work, you are missing out big time. Go read all of his books (starting with this one) and then cry for all the lost years you spent piddling about reading far lesser books. Then cry some more that the world will never see this sort of genius again, for Douglas Adams met his untimely ...

Advantages: Greatest author ever

...when I saw it in the paper. They had given him a very small section, one column and about thirty lines. I actually gave a minutes silence almost automatically after seeing the headline. Douglas Adams was almost a hero for me, as I enjoyed all his books. I would often learn things about the way he felt and thought about things, and it would sometimes scare me. I can say ‘I never really got the hang of Thursdays’ without it being a pure ...
...It is the worst day of my week often. I also agree with many of his beliefs, on reading ‘Last Chance to See’ I agreed at every turn. The Hitch-Hikers Guide has influenced me more than any other book, and I must confess that my friends and I look out for the number forty-two everywhere, just so that we can shout forty-two at the top of our voices. I have found it in many strange places. I have read the book (and it’s four sequels) ...

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams.

Advantages: Very funny, great characters, exciting and original.
Disadvantages: Some theories were a little hard to understand, perhaps too random in places

Sci-fi at its finest and most entertaining, in my view. Douglas Adams gets the balance of seriousness and comedy down to a tee. Based on the BBC radio series, the story follows Arthur Dent, a lover of habit and stability, whose life is turned upside down when the planet Earth is destroyed to make way for a Hyper Space Bypass. Arthur has to get his head around the mind-bendingly enormous galaxy with its wacky planets, vile aliens, unimaginably powerful spaceships and one very sulky robot. Fear not as helping Arthur on his way is his friend Ford Prefect, two-headed (and three-handed) alien Zaphod Beeblebrox, the beautiful and clever Trillian and of course the Hitchhikers Guide itself. An amazingly advanced encyclopedia telling Arthur everything he needs to know. The jokes and sheer randomness of the Universe had me laughing all the way ...

Review of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

The Answer is 42, But What's the Question?

Advantages: Entertaining and funny
Disadvantages: Doug is no longer with us

The Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams is a trilogy in five parts. There were originally meant to be only three parts, but the whole story grew. By the time, the fourth and fifth books came along; HHGTTG was already established as a trilogy, and so continued to be known as such. The five parts are:- -The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy -The Restaurant at the End of the Universe -Life, the Universe and Everything -So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish -Mostly Harmless Today though, I?m just going to concentrate on book one. The first book had the difficult task of establishing characters while still telling a good story. In my opinion, both tasks are achieved brilliantly. Douglas Adams has created some very well rounded and believable characters. Let me introduce you to the main players. ATHUR DENT ...

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

, otherwise the mice won't be best pleased. I love Douglas Adams' writing style, it's witty, and somewhat nerdy at the same time. As well as the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, check out his Dirk Gently (The Holistic Detective Agency) books, which are of a similar style about a rather ineffective private eye.
