I've never managed to finish it & I've tried several times over the years. British humor, I guess. It either rolls me on the floor or leaves me cold. This definitely did the latter.

A sci-fi classic. Hilarious and full of quotes you will always remember. Brilliantly funny.
The guide is all over the place. Its a fun read and pokes fun at everything and everyone.
The books were way better than the movie.
