I love this seris (  ) gerleliz | May 23, 2009 |  The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is quite possibly the funniest and most imaginative book ever written in my humble opinion. This is a collection of all 4 books in the trilogy (if you find that funny, this is your book. If not, well...go read Pride and Prejudice :) (  ) ArcticLlama | Apr 14, 2009 | quettandil | Dec 28, 2008 | Pan-galactic Gargle Blasters. Weird guy named Rooster. Cats named The Lord. Ornery machines that don’t understand Tea. Vogon poetry. Squirrels proffering bits of rag. A pissed off entity tired of being forever killed. Aliens with expensive soap. SEP fields. Cricket. A guy who really, really likes a bath. Mice. The Gnab Gib. Important information on towels. Cavemen who can’t play scrabble. A guy who’s dead for tax purposes. A robot with emotional problems. Meet the Meat. Eddys in the space-time continuum. If you do not find this intriguing or hilarious, I’m afraid you’ll have to take a turn in the Total Perspective Vortex.

| Book description |
|
This omnibus edition begins with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which Arthur Dent is introduced to the galaxy at large when he is rescued by an alien friend seconds before Earth's destruction. Then in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Arthur and his new friends travel to the end of time and discover the true reason for Earth's existence. In Life, the Universe, and Everything, the gang goes on a mission to save the entire universe. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish recounts how Arthur finds true love and "God's Final Message to His Creation." Finally, Mostly Harmless is the story of Arthur's continuing search for home, in which he instead encounters his estranged daughter, who is on her own quest. There's also a bonus short story, "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe," more of a vignette than a full story, which wraps up this completist's package of the Don't Panic chronicles. As the series progresses, its wackier elements diminish, but the satire of human life and foibles is ever present. --Brooks Peck
