“Adams is one of my favorite authors of all time, and these books don't disappoint. I just read through the series for the 4th, maybe 5th time, and it's always fantastic. His humor, his clever word play, and his story lines all impress.”
“Have you been bombarded by complete strangers who wanted to know, after you have written a review, and/or made comments expressing your opinion of a book, whether they should read this book? And it isn't that they took the time to see who you are, then ask in a note, no, they just spammed you and everyone else on Shelfari who has said book on shelf. Does this irriate you? If so, you can do something about it: you can contact either of the two Shelfari reps below, or better yet, you can contact both of them and ask them to please remove the new and annoying feature that allows this spamming!http://www.shelfari.com/amandahttp://www.shelfari.com/timothygray”
“Do you know if this book is good because I tried to read the beggining and it was bad. This is my opinion though.”
“And don't forget the video game!I found the trilogy (in five parts) completely delightful, but took even more enjoyment from Adams' DIRK GENTLY books and LAST CHANCE TO SEE. An enormously whimsical and quotable body of work. The majority of Adams' career was focused on television and radio, though he also had a huge interest in the environment. His early death at the age of 49 was a sad loss.”
“ahh, see i never knew, being a typical isolated american... thanks”
“Adams is one of those writers who took a really great concept and turned into a series, McCall Smith with the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is another. i can't blame them for taking the money, but you wonder if they could have been great literary novelists if they ever got untracked. I know I read the Guide and The Restuarant, and one other of the books, but to be honest, they began to blend so much I am not sure of the title.”
