MEDIA REVIEWS
One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering geniusDazzlingly inventiveFizzing with ideas...BrilliantI 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 themIt changed my whole life. It's literally out of this worldReally entertaining and funHitchhiker'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 sillyHe had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spokeThere 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 heightsQuite good I suppose,if you like brilliantly entertaining books written with a touch of imaginative geniusVery occasionally a book comes along that changes the way you laugh and what you laugh aboutOne of the world's sanest,smartest,kindest,funniest voicesMagical...read this bookSheer delight
