(  )dswaddell | Jun 1, 2009 | This review is based only on the first of the five parts. As a carbon based bipedal life form I guess humour is like art, everyone has their own likes and as a first time reader of 'The Hitcher Hikers Guide' I guess it is not to my taste. A few amusing paragraphs were not worth for me the slog of the rest of it. (  )BookMarkMe | May 30, 2009 | 1  funny, thought provoking, always notice something new, only downside is this version is too big to hold for a long time (  )purplesue | May 27, 2009 | I love this series now just as much as I did when I was 12, and it remains near the top of my best-loved books list. It's so imaginative and humorous and laugh-out-loud entertaining. HIGHLY recommended! ( )fillechaude | May 8, 2009 | 0.109 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345453743, Paperback)At last in paperback in one complete volume, here are the five classic novels from Douglas Adams’s beloved Hitchiker series.The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Seconds before the Earth is demolished for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is saved by Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised Guide. Together they stick out their thumbs to the stars and begin a wild journey through time and space. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Facing annihilation at the hands of warmongers is a curious time to crave tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades as they hurtle across the galaxy in a desperate search for a place to eat. Life, the Universe and Everything The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky– so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals can avert Armageddon: mild-mannered Arthur Dent and his stalwart crew. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Back on Earth, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription conspires to thrust him back to reality. So to speak. Mostly Harmless Just when Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life, all hell breaks loose. Can he save the Earth from total obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can he save his daughter from herself? (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:18 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

Then when I first got the internet I decided to google'Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy' and found h2g2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/ I joined up and it was fun.
A few years later I met a girl at an h2g2 meet and we got on rather well.
Next week I marry her.
This book changed my life. (
