Lovingly referred to as ‘The Guide’ by more than a few people, this story has captured the interest of countless people over several decades and has been told in radio broadcasts, on LP’s, in a BBC series, as a book and just about every other way you can imagine it may have been shared. Including a Hollywood production which does the story very little justice but they only get so much time and it’s a lot of story for such a little book. In each version the story is just a little bit different leaving true fanatics lots of room for healthy debate. In this writers opinion, the collection of works that completes ‘The Guide’ is perhaps one of the most amazing works since Homers times. Seriously.
What started off as a short story about an otherwise ordinary Thursday in nice stretch of West Country farmland turned into a ‘trilogy’ in some five or six parts with plot twists and turns that will leave you giggling while wiping tears away with your favorite towel. Douglas Adams takes the reader on a freefalling journey through space and time in this insanely genius work of creativity.
No matter if you prefer to stumble blindly through the Universe like Arthur Dent, go with the flow like Ford Prefect or are just looking for the next great Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster with Zaphod Beeblebrox … this story has a character that anyone can relate to.
Ever wonder how the Earth was made? The Hitchhikers Guide has a theory for that.
Ever wonder about where we came from? There’s a bit about that too.
Perhaps you’re just a little curious as to Gods final message to the Universe,
or you might like to learn more about Wonko the Sane and ’The Asylum’.
Even if you just stop by for some fine dining at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe you’re bound to enjoy the time spent with this outrageous little read. Join with countless others and learn for yourself the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. So Long & Thanks For All The Fish! I hope this review was helpful and still Mostly Harmless to the actually storyline!
