    Go on a galactic adventure with the last human on Earth, his alien best friend, and a depressed android. Introducing younger readers to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this YA edition of the funny sci-fi classic includes an introduction from Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer. One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. It's the final straw for Arthur Dent, who has already had his house bulldozed that morning. But for Arthur, that is only the beginning . . . In the seconds before global obliteration, Arthur is plucked from the planet by his friend Ford Prefect - and together the pair venture out across the galaxy on the craziest, strangest road trip of all time! Totally hilarious, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been a radio show, TV show, stage play, comic book and film, and is and a work of utter comic genius from Douglas Adams.

    Just the first book - better buy the ultimate guide

    [Comment]: This is just the first book of the trilogy. You are better off buying the ultimate guide that is a compilation of all the 3 books of the trilogy + 2 more books.
    [About the book]- Though this is a lovely read. I can hardly keep away from this book.
    [Flipkart's performance]: Packaging is perfect and the delivery was in time, faster than the usual flipkart services.

    Collector's Edition

    You would have come to know, about how cool this book is and the cult following it has, already. So thats why you are here. No need to tell you about the content.

    But this 5 part edition of the trilogy is the best because it has a DIY cover. Which mean that the cover has no graphics but the book comes with stickers, which are very cool and definitely a collector's worth.
    You can stick the stickers on the cover or just any where you like!

    Worth the extra buck!

    Awesome and Funny

    Its probably the most funny book I have ever read. To combine humour with science fiction is a feet not easy but very well accomplished by Douglas Adams. The whole series is very funny.
    If you are a fan of classics like Charles Dickens and Mark Twain, maybe this is not a book for you. But this book is a classic in its own self. Its a very different writing style to classics and to popular fiction aswell, and yet it is a classic in its own self. On the surface it is an in your face kind of co...

    A great read for those who have the "childish" side !!

    I wish I was around when this book was first launched, because one can only realize after reading the whole book, what an effect it must have had on it generation !!

    A witty, quick read filled with comic-fun, almost ridiculing the reader's logic if I may add !!. Its a pure joy to read, with an open un-constrained mind, I must add !!

    Buy it, read it, and give it to the younger folks you know.

    Utterly hilarious

    Douglas Adams writes in his own peculiar and lucid style. His selection of words, proses is superb. This one is for those who enjoy reading fantasies. His take on modern life thru various quotes is unparallel!

    Hilarious and very well written

    Douglas Adams weaves a beautiful and fantastical journey of an unlucky and confused earthling along with a equally confused and unlucky space hitchhiker. The result is hilarious and an unimaginable spaceship, the president of the galaxy gone mad, a severely depressed emotional robot and a long lost love... a must read for anyone interested in sci fi and comedy novels!
