While the unfinished story can't really be commented on (Adams himself planned to abandon it and salvage the [great] ideas), the rest of the book - the collection of articles, interviews, letters and thoughts saved from his Macintosh - is amazing. Simply a great mind. His thoughts on religion often echoed my own, but were expressed in such an eloquent and humourous way. Makes me sad that I didn't read Hitchhiker's until after he'd died.
