Дуглас Адамс - человек, ухитрившийся проделать с английской фантастикой нечто - поистине НЕВЕРОЯТНОЕ. Писатель, прошедший "суровые университеты" сценариста кинофильмов и телесериалов, "закадровый советчик" группы "Монти Пайтон" - и многое, многое другое. Притом - ТАКОЕ, что и описать-то невозможно!.. Дуглас Адамс - "суперзвезда" англоязычной "нонконформистской фантастики". Писатель блестящий, веселый - и ДО show more НЕПРИЛИЧИЯ ироничный!.. "Автостопом по Галактике" - мимо планет, закисших в "буржуазной унылости"! "Автостопом по Галактике" - по планетам, не знающим, что делать со своей свободой! "Автостопом по Галактике" - с невероятными приключениями и неправдоподобными ситуациями, с юмором - и сарказмом! Путешествуйте - автостопом. Точнее - "звездолетостопом". Желаем удачи на трассе! show less
A boring Englishman is rescued from the destruction of the Earth.
They had some of the best comedy material ever written, and yet they still managed to make an awful show out of it. Probably the worst comedic timing I have ever seen.

Take into account that these were produced several decades ago and you will enjoy this series very much if you enjoyed the book. It is closer to the written work than the more modern movie.
