Summary: HELP!!! Too much SUSPENSE!!!!
Comment: The book says it all, the man(Douglas Adams) is a writing genious. He tells you everything you wanted to know about "Life, the Universe and Everything" Did you ever wonder how life started on the planet earth? Dull name earth, but anyways, read the book and you will know. What is 42 and why do the mice want my brain? I do not know this but you will if you read this spectacular book. This is the best book ever written by mankind. You can easily base a philosophy by this book. Life begins to make so much sense after you rad this book. There is no better!!!

Summary: The Most Amazing thing since digital watches
Comment: Well, having read the trilogy in five parts over 50 times, I still believe it is the greatest book ever written.

Adams has an uncanny ability to draw the reader into the story, and almost, but not quite, fail to leave you totally confused. (Read through it again, you will eventuallt get it).

His characters are whacky, insane, funny and stupendously irritating at times, much like you and I. That's Adam's great strength, he makes you think that someone is normal, and then throws something like "his one head looked at the other and conferred".

So, read this trilogy, even if it's just to get the telephone numbers of the Pope and the KGB if you want to leave the planet.

The main character, Arthur Dent's interaction with most of the others is brilliant, even bordering on amazing, and Ford Prefect will leave you wanting to take a big towel and strangle him.

But don't take my word, read it yourself and see what the meaning of life is....

Summary: Better when read aloud
Comment: Douglas Adams is funny in print, but his books really come to life when you listen to him read them aloud. He has a good sense of comic timing and often addes just the right split-second pause, or twists a word *just-so* and brings off a joke that might otherwise be missed.

We've had the 4-volume audio set for ten years and my kids have worn it out. I highly recommend getting this as a book on tape. (Better yet- bring them out on CD!)
