Kobye asked:

is the first one anything like the movie?

Roxy The book is far more clever and mature. I found the movie very juvenile in comparison.
Warne I believe the movie (and the original 6 part UK TV series) both span the first two books: Hitchhikers Guide and Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Paul Miller The movie version has the same basic plotline as the first book, however there are some added scenes, added characters, and differing plotlines. I've read the books multiple times, seen the tv series, heard the BBC radio shows, and one thing that I have noticed is that they are all slightly different, but follow the basics. All of them are good though.
