Book Reviews of The Science of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This was like discovering an extra, long-lost Douglas Adams book. It has the same blend of weird science, spot-on humour and philosophy that made the Hitchhikers series such a hit, without being a straight copy or a pastiche. It's also first-rate as a stand-alone popular science book, with something surprising in every chapter no matter how much you think you already know. A superb read.
