Unfortunately, I'm just not a fan. It has the feel of a spoof a bit too much for me. Yes, I know it's meant to be black humour etc but just not my type of humour.Arthur Dent is a pretty boring guy who woke up one day to find that his house was about to demolish to make way for a freeway and by lun...

The wacky humor gets old after a while, and you c...

Honestly, I never expected to enjoy a sci-fi series this much. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide includes the five novels from the series, as well as a short story containing characters from the novels.Douglas Adams takes his eclectic cast of characters on humorous, over-the-top adventures through tim...
