"The Hitchhikers Guide the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams (1952-2001)


Publisher: Pan Books
Copyright: 1979
ISBN: 0330258648

It started off as a BBC Radio program and has since grown into a phenomena that millions have heard about and read.

The story for those who haven't read it revolves around Arthur Dent who woke up one morning to find his house was going to be demolished, this was generally speaking the least of his worries, as a few minutes after it happened the Earth ceased to exist as it was in the way of a hyperspatial bypass.

Dent along with a friend by the name of Ford Prefect hitch a ride off Earth just in time and have a number of rather amazing adventures as they do their utmost to survive.

This book has been described by some as the blueprint for humorous science fiction, and I believe this designation is well deserved.

So grab your towel, get yourself a nice hot cup of tea, and sit back and relax.

But Don't Panic!

Going on Hiatus

 Greetings, I have decided to put a hold on doing further book reviews for a while. In fact I'm not sure if I will resume doing reviews ...
