The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
(Douglas Adams)
From the opening page of the first novel, the reader will quickly discern that he or she has stumbled onto something that is quite unlike anything they have ever encountered before. Immediately the author's keen and incisive wit begins to leap off the page, evoking repeated audible chuckles from the reader, punctuated here and there by the occasional snort and even, dare I say, a guffaw or two. And all this is before you even finish the first page.
The author promptly sets the tone for the entire series of stories -- irreverent, biting, insightful humor offered up with that uniquely British flavor. From there the reader is quickly introduced to the hapless Arthur Dent, who spends the early pages of the story lying in mud in front of a bulldozer, while wearing only his dressing gown as he seeks to save his home from demolition. It's not long before he is whisked away on a bizarre interstellar adventure by Ford Prefect, hitchhiker/party-crasher/Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster mixer extraordinaire, just as a Vogon wrecking crew makes the whole issue of Arthur's house and the bulldozer thoroughly moot by demolishing the whole planet -- to make way for a hyperspace bypass which, as it turns out, wasn't really needed anyway.
Well, you get the idea. Douglas Adams will lead you on a merry jaunt across the galaxy -- and in various contorted patterns through the space-time continuum. You'll enjoy the company of the two-headed Zaphod Beeblebrox, the President of the Galaxy, Slartibartfast, fashioner of custom-made planets, and Marvin, the morbidly depressed robot, to name just a few, as they set off to find the Question to the Ultimate Answer of life, the universe and everything. Oh, by the way, they'll also need to save the Universe while they're at it.
