Book Reviews of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Book Review: A classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Hitchhicker's guide to the Galxey - the peniultimate classic of science fiction, the humourous stuff at least - and have read and reread it many a time. However, unable to fall asleep one day, I put this in and listened to it on my sleepless nights. In no way did it help me to fall alseep, but I loved the story, loved the reader's wonderful voices, and didn't worry about anything in my quest to sleep.
The story is this, for those unfamiliar: Arthur Dent is an ape-decended mammal from the planet earth who's house is about to get demolished for a bypass to, well, pass through. Shortly after this but before the earth itself is demolished for an intersteller bypass, he unwittingly is hitch-hiked off the planet by one of his friends, who happens to be a roving research for the wholy remarkable book, The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galexy, from the vacinity of Betelguse.
Thus begins Arthur's journey across time and space, with the aide of a wholey remarkable guide. Buy the book, buy the audio book, buy it in some form (other than the movie) but its well worth it.
