Es hätte so ein schöner Tag werden können - bis Arthur Dent feststellt, dass sein Haus abgerissen werden soll. Macht aber eigentlich nichts, weil kurz darauf auch die Erde gesprengt wird, um einer Hyperraum-Umgehungsstraße Platz zu machen. Diesem Schicksal kann Dent gerade noch entgehen - dank seines außerirdischen Freundes Ford Prefect und des intergalaktischen Weltreiseführers.

The book doesn't go into entirely too much detail than the movie portrays. Still an awesome story worthy if reading if you haven't, but you'll want to save your time if you've watched it already.
One of the best sci-fi novels ever written.
È il libro che consiglio di leggere a tutti, posso dire che ha rappresentato per me una parte importante della mia vita. Lo rileggo spesso e non faccio a meno di divertirmi ogni volta.
42 years later and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still as absurdly funny, insanely perceptive and shockingly relevant as ever.
I still love the babel fish!
Most of the fun stems from its unpredictability. There are also some hilarious quotes in here. But, besides its gags, it doesn't have a lot to offer. The only theme to it is that (human) life is largely insignificant. But it's only explored superficially. Especially when rereading, the book can become somewhat of a bore.
