A review by craigt1990
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

5.0

Such a joyous read poking fun at humanity and philosophy and revelling in the fun of the present and taking things as they come. It's a science fiction book stuffed with wit whilst also creating a Whovian adventure though space powered by the improbability drive of a stolen ship which can go anywhere in the galaxy in an instant providing it knows just how improbable the circumstances are. Adams is up there with Hunter S. Thompson, Joseph Heller, Terry Pratchett and Kurt Vonnegut as one of the greatest satirical writers and along with Catch 22 (which I am currently reading) one of the most laugh-out-loud funny books one could read. I also now know where all my biros went.
