I enjoy having a beautiful copy with all the books. The first book is the best, The quality of the later books are not as good. There is a cute short story included - Young Zaphod Plays is Safe. ( )

The hitchhiker's guide to the universe
I re-read this one the last few days. It's been a while, but it's still funny. Couldn't read it in long stretches, though. I guess the story is too incoherent for that...

The restaurant at the end of the universe
Amusing. What's more to say? It's got some good jokes and a convoluted story.

Life, the universe and everything was funny (but what would you expect) and chaotic. I can't read any of the HHG books in one go: the books are too disjointed for that. Instead, I read a few chapters every now and then, usually before I go to sleep. This does mean that the chaotic story line is difficult to follow. Now I realize that the HHG books are not about the story line. The story line is just there to hang the jokes on. Still, I think I may have missed some of the fun by not remembering how the characters got to their current position every other chapter. The book was entertaining however, so even though I know it's the worst book in the series, I'll continue with number 4. ( )

I really enjoyed Adams satirical style of writing. The underlying hints of humor. I really need to spend time to reread the whole series again. ( )

Having re-read this book for the first time in ~20 years, I'm struck with how unfunny this book (well, the books inside of this omnibus) is. I shouldn't have re-read it, and instead let it linger in my memory as a hilarious tome. I don't know if it's because I'm older, or times have changed, or what, but this book just sucked. And Trillian is literally the worst female sci-fi trope. ( )

Satirical, funny, an interesting theory. I loved all the books contained in this massive volume, and finished the whole thing in a week. ( )
