Reviews:| Rating 4.5/5 from 3 reviews | | You are about to read a cultural classic | | Rating: 4/5 (3 out of 3 think this is helpful) 2005-04-03 | How many times have you asked a simple question and go the answer as "42." Yep, you are a victim to this book. Many of the clichýs and truisms that rival Shakespeare are creeping into our vocabulary. And attitudes - "It has been on file."
If you are the one person that somehow got through life with out reading this series or at least seeing this on TV, then you are in for a treat. Somehow this story is earmarked as sci-fi and I guess it can be in a sense and it has all the elements necessary; it delivers a powerful message to the local Zoning Board.
I will not go though the story, as that is why you are reading the book. You need to sit down for the next sentence.
This book has changed my life.
| | Great book, irritating presentation | | Rating: 4/5 (21 out of 24 think this is helpful) 1998-10-11 | | First, the good news: this contains the complete Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy novel, one of the greatest books ever written. Problem is, the photos and art that accompany this particular version only serve to distract the reader and snap him/her out of the fictional dream. Die-hard Adams fans are the only people who will really want this, and then purely as a conversation piece. If you are new to the world of the Guide, you would be better served by getting The Ultimate Hitch-Hiker's Guide, which has the text of this book plus the other four in the series and a short story, and no pictures. | | The Illustrated HGTTG is a MUST for every D. Adams fan. | | Rating: 5/5 (9 out of 12 think this is helpful) 1996-05-24 | The story :
Itýs a thursday when the earth getýs destroyed to make space
for a new hyperspace highway. The human Arthur Dent and
his friend, Ford Prefect from the Planet Beteigeuze, are
flagged up to the Vogon spaceship. From now on begins a
crazy travel through the Universe (and beyond) ...
Specials about this book:
If you are a real Douglas Adams fan, you MUST own this book.
The whole story is described with funny looking pictures,
and even Adams itself has a guest-role.
