This book is just horrible. I can't see a grade schooler turning this in and getting more than a C-. The attempts at humour fail miserably. The plot (and there is only one, and you can hardly call it a plot) is entirely uninteresting. This also bears no resemblance to Douglas Adams' writing, nor does it even give you any insight into the Hitchhiker's universe. I'm embarrassed to even own this book. I'm surprised Douglas Adams agreed to let his name be put on the book. Read something else.
