The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Five Novels and One Story

With HHGTTG, the answer is a simple yes. Even though I know it by heart, it never ceases to entertain and make me laugh out loud every once in a while. Mr. Adams’ way with words is, well, out of this world and it still saddens me deeply we lost him way way too soon. Till next time Mr. Adams.

On the kindle menu, whether or not being on the computer or the device itself, whenever I've it downloaded the book, it doesn't show the name "Douglas Adams". It simply doesn't show it, as if there is something about the code, a glitch maybe. I have a theory that the ones on the computer and kindle weren't able to display "Adams, Douglas", so they gone with the next best thing, not showing it at all. On my phone is showed it as "Adams, Douglas" leading to my theory. Anything else is great to good writing, the first two books felt like a space Monty Python movie, the other three vibe more or less like "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It as if the mental voice of Adams gotten a sore throat leading to the last three novels to a sound bit different. Is something I will recommend. Really it's a good book, yes, some might not get it, some do, its absurdist humor in a non-video format. The thing with books you have to generate the visuals yourself from the words in it, unlike other mediums, I.e. video games, video, comic books, etc. Yet it, originally being a radio series, adapted into a series of five books, tv series, a movie, and one of those text adventure games in the 1980s, surely its a accessible fandom to get into. Even though it many go down in quality by the three book, there's one helpful piece of advice, Don't Panic. TLDR; Good books, bad metadata: authors name not show in menu.

This book and this author are the standard of which all books should be held. The writing is imaginative and intelligent; humorous, dark and touching. I will read these books over and over again as they are just so wonderful. My son is now reading them and finds them hilarious and intriguing.

Doug Adam’s prescient. Sorry he’s gone. Pretty funny imaginative stuff. Doug Adam’s prescient. Sorry he’s gone. Pretty funny imaginative stuff. Now this is more than 20 words.

What can be said? It's the greatest sci-fi comedy "trilogy" ever written--all in one volume. I had to purchase it because I lost at least two copies of all of the books due to failed relationships or moves. Good to have them all back to share with the rest of the fam.
