The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy


Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy

By: Douglas Adams
5/5 stars
Reviewer: Marina


“Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space, listen..."

One really lousy Thursday afternoon the Earth is destroyed to make way for a hyperspatial express route.  Arthur Dent and alien friend Ford Prefect are able to escape by hitching a ride on a Vogon Spaceship making Arthur probably the last Earthling in the universe.  Ford and Arthur go on a wild hitchhiking ride around the galaxy full of quirky adventures and characters.  The paranoid android Marvin is probably my favorite, but the two headed alien, super intelligent mice, the creator of Norway, and of course Vogon poetry are not to be missed. 

What it comes down to is this book is a blast and you need to read it.  Now.  Go Get it.  It’s awesome.
