Description
A special 42nd anniversary edition of Douglas Adams's mega-selling cult classic, with additional material from the Adams archives.
One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius
Dazzlingly inventive
Fizzing with ideas . . . Brilliant
I haven’t known many geniuses in my life. Some brilliantly smart people, but only a tiny handful would I class as geniuses. I would class Douglas, because he saw things differently, and he was capable of communicating the way he saw things, and once he explained things the way he saw them, it was almost impossible to see them the way you used to see them
The first book that wasn’t by Roald Dahl that really made me laugh. Arthur Dent is this humdrum person in search of a cup of tea and ends up going on mind-blowing adventures. He is so ordinary and the circumstances are so extraordinary that it was the funniest thing I’d ever read
It changed my whole life. It's literally out of this world
Really entertaining and fun
Hitchhiker’s is packed with that unique energy, all barmy and bristling and bold. This book can be witty, iconoclastic, godless, savage, sweet, surreal, but above all, it dares to be silly. Fiercely, beautifully silly
He had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spoke
There has never been another writer remotely like Douglas Adams. He discovered a completely new genre – scientific wit – and having discovered it he raised it to dizzying heights
Quite good I suppose, if you like brilliantly entertaining books written with a touch of imaginative genius
Very occasionally a book comes along that changes the way you laugh and what you laugh about
One of the world’s sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices
Sheer delight
Magical . . . read this book
Really entertaining and fun
Much funnier than anything John Cleese has written
Who is John Cleese?
I know for a fact that John Cleese hasn’t read it

Douglas Adams created all the various and contradictory manifestations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: radio, novels, TV, computer game, stage adaptations, comic book and bath towel. He lectured and broadcast around the world and was a patron of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and Save the Rhino International. Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge, UK and lived with his wife and daughter in Islington, London, before moving to Santa Barbara, California, where he died suddenly in 2001.
In addition to Hitchhiker, He is also the author of the Dirk Gently novels: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul and the unfinished The Salmon of Doubt.
