I wish this book happened at a more impressionable age in my life. I wasn't a young reader and I regret that but whatever it is, I am glad this book chose me even if through an Infinite Improbability Drive. I am in awe and the less I speak of it, the better. This is a classic for a reason. Be it for the deadpan, very English and very novel style of humor or the deep philosophy hidden behind the surface level frivolousness or just the absurdity. Adams's conception of the Universe transcends every conceivable boundary of creativity and language. I am eventually going to read the rest of the four books in the Trilogy.

Must read in humour genre
My first ever humour read. It's like a Monty pythonish absurd fun. I enjoyed a lot and it led me to look at other humour books.

Overhyped
Overhyped. Too much nonsense writing. Plot doesn't hold interest and unnecessary marketting of the book itself happening within the content.

Just couldn't stop reading it
I knew it was a classic and people loved it but I never felt the urge to read it. It stayed in my wishlist for years until I got bored of the types of books I was reading and wanted some fiction. I got the sample and had to buy it because I couldn't stop reading. Great book! Really sparkles our imagination!

Makes one feel happy
It’s really clever and the funny bits appear quite out of nowhere even when we know this book has got plenty. It’s humble in a special way even when being so well put together. One small discomfort was me waiting for a plot to appear (which is not mandatory for a book of this coolness level), but it does appear and the absurdity still makes sense in a way. Looking forward to relishing the next book in the series and most probably the rest!
