Volume one in the trilogy of five.

On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity — The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

It's an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards, to make way for a new hyperspatial express route, and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but a towel and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the large, friendly words: DON'T PANI The weekend has only just begun.

Little reason to read the book if you're already seen the movie

The book doesn't go into entirely too much detail than the movie portrays. Still an awesome story worthy if reading if you haven't, but you'll want to save your time if you've watched it already.

Review of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy : Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Book 1" on 'Goodreads'

42 years later and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still as absurdly funny, insanely perceptive and shockingly relevant as ever.

I still love the babel fish!
