Go on a Wild Adventure with Arthur in The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide by Douglas Adams

by dragonfire88 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Apr 27 '05
Pros: Fun, exciting, and unique. Very entertaining.
Cons: The last two books in the collection aren't as good.
Since I started using the internet, I have made some online friends. One day I noticed that a few of them were discussing a book, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, that sounded very interesting. I followed the conversation for a little ...

Deep Thoughts, by Douglas Adams

by hazcon7 , Jun 03 '00
Pros: Hilariously absurd writing
Cons: The book had to end
Given infinite monkeys and infinite typewriters, one of them is bound to hammer out a well-written review about this book. So I shall begin…

“Simple deductive reasoning dictates that if the universe is infinite then we must only...

The world's longest trilogy

by Guildencrantz Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 04 '00
Pros: Hysterical and filled with wonderful advice.
Cons: It doesn't look like there will be any more books added onto the "trilogy".
Yup, this was supposed to be a trilogy, but Douglas Adams can't do anything like a "normal" human. Straying from the beaten path and looking back at society Adams has plenty to say.

With a wit and humor that has all but left the...

"Don't Panic!" and grab a towel....and this book!

by alexdg1 alexdg1 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 23 '04
Pros: Funny, inspired, and sometimes insane, Adams was at the top of his game...
Cons: None, unless you have the heart of a Vogon.
Part One: Why I Like Douglas Adams…. I first discovered Douglas Adams' zany and irreverent Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy purely, as some good things often occur, by accident. It was 1981, or close enough to that year, anyway. I was in high ...

The Ends of the Earth

by myhiatus , Mar 03 '03
Pros: it's the most wonderful book i've ever read
Cons: the end.
This book is a marvel. That's the best I can say for it at this point. I have read it so many times that when i flip through at random and I see a couple of words I instantly know that point in the book and, increasingly often, the rest of the...

Don't Panic and don't steal the black spaceship.

by sirtayls , Apr 11 '01
Pros: humor, wit, sarcasm (via Marvin), amazing points of view.
Cons: not a one
I was first introduced to this book back in high school, and have been a fan of it ever since. The book starts with Arthur Dent a common, ordinary man from London, England, trying to convince a couple of bulldozers not to demolish his house...

The Single Greatest Thing Ever

by llamaluvr , Jun 11 '01
Pros: Entire Hitchhiker's series in one book, nice price, sexy cover.
Cons: Towel not included.
I'll keep this review short, because there is absolutely no way you can lose with this book. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide is a compilation of Douglas Adam's entire Hitchhiker's series, including The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The...

Insert The Pointy End Between Your Teeth...

by QuinnElaine , Sep 10 '00
Pros: This book has All the answers!
Cons: You may not want or believe them!
Reading Douglas Adams is like trying to follow a mad little elf through a vast three dimensional puzzle!There are so many levels to enjoy his works on, I hardly know where to start!

I've read the complete set (in hardback) more than once (and...

Hold on... lemme get my towel

by Gideon_Twist , Aug 25 '00
Pros: Funny, Science Fictiony, Almost makes one think, too
Cons: why did it have to end?

Having only previously read the original "Hitchhiker's Guide" I was delighted to see all the sequels set up in one hardcopy - and oh boy, the insanity doesn't stop with the first book.

The main plot centers around a...

Don't Panic! The Laughs Never Stop

by dmetzge1 , May 24 '00
Pros: amazingly funny, easy to read
Cons: some of the humor is complex
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy may be the greatest humor series ever written. Douglas Adams has the same humorous vision in his books that Monty Python has in their shows. However, some of the humor is pretty academic, and there is so much of it...

Shove a Fish in your ear, grab a towel...

by Delirium , Jan 11 '00
Pros: British comedy, all of the books in one binding, unique characters, brilliant writing.
Cons: You'll never want to lend it out, in case it isn't returned.
Douglas Adams, I must say, is one of my favorite authors of all time. When I saw that he had all of his "trilogy" (all five books of it) gathered into one big collection, i immediately bought copies for my friends. Growing up in a sci-fi...

My favorite series ever!

by btanory , Nov 20 '02
Pros: My favorite series ever!
Cons: none.
I can't believe that Douglas Adams died. It just can't be possible. He produced one of the greatest, most memorable, most quotable series in all the sci-fi / fantasy world, and he made it so satirical and ironic that it never stopped being funny, even...

The Ultimate Satirical Comedy

by lyndaloo , Dec 22 '99
Pros: Satirical comedy at its best.
Cons: Those who love slapstick won't enjoy this.
Douglas Adams is by far one of the better satirical contemporary writers. Recapturing a seemingly lost art, Adams utilizes his biting wit to cleverly mock present day man, his inventions and his foolish activities. This is a far cry from the simple,...
