Anyone know that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was a trilogy? I didn't, then I found that it is six books long. How can a trilogy have six books? It doesn't make any sense! Good books though. I just read the second book, it continues the adventures of Arthur, Ford, Trillian and Zaphod Beeblebrox. The Vogons are chasing them under the instruction of a mysterious psychiatrist. With the book starting with the group in a seance while enemy ships close in, it can be a fast paced book. With so many plot twists and nearly nonsensical moments it could make your head spin, this isn't a book for everyone. If you liked the first book, you will love " The restaurant at the end of the universe".

The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, by Douglas Adams is the single greatest book of all time in its category.

This statement, grand though it may seem, is not an overstatement (at least in my opinion).

This book tells the tale of an inconspicuous and seemingly insignificant British man named Arthur Dent, who wakes up one morning to find a yellow bulldozer advancing down his garden path with the intention of demolishing his much ignored brick house. This slight misunderstanding starts the morning in which,

1). He meets a direct male-line decendent of Genghis Khan,

2). His house is destroyed to make way for a bypass,

3). He finds out his best friend Ford Prefect is from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse,

4). The earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

He wakes up upon a Vogon spaceship having being saved by his friend Ford and begins walking running and randomizing his way around the universe, unwillingly on a quest to discover the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything and meets some interesting characters on the way.

A sci-fi, a comedy, a damm good book.
