This book was short, sweet, and hilarious. I was laughing out loud on some parts of this book. The comedic timing in this book is amazing. The story and characters will make you fall in love with this book. It is a little silly at times but I think that is what makes this book work. Must read for all ages

The audiobook was very well read and enjoyable. 
The quirky writing style would have been to much for me, reading it, but listening was fine. (no native speaker)

A classic of British science fiction, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy follows Arthur Dent, a normal English man who is the sole survivor of Earth after it is instantly demolished to make way for an intergalactic freeway. His journey takes him to space ships (properly owned and stolen), terrible poetry recitals, and a planet shrouded in myth that manufactures planets. Along the way, he learns absolutely wacky (and generally useless) information about the cosmos, meets a depressed robot, and discovers the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything.
