Is this book good? I saw the preview for the movie.

On a sidenote, is seeing the movie worth it?

I've got some doubts about the movie . . . but the book is fantastic.

READ IT!!!

Marvin is my hero.....

I'm going to see the movie this weekend.... It better be worth it!

Most of the books gave me a headache. But that's what I get for reading too fast. I'll slow down next time... They're so full of interesting philosophies and general madness.

I read the first one and I loved it. I'm halfway through the second one.

Marvin is <3333.

i read this book a very, very long time ago, the illustrated book i think, very good, except i don't remember much of it, the mice probably stole my brain. i had no idea it was a series, oh well library haunting time then :P

the movie was excellent :P very funny. i can't tell you what it is like compared to the book since the only person in my group who actually remembers any of the book, tunred up late to the movie. but the dolphin song is very good :P i do reccomend seeing it :) marvin was excellent! made me laugh poor thing :P

Rickman does Marvin's voice, doesn't he?

Can't go wrong there.

I cannot wait to see this film.

The film just didn't live up to the book.

I'm reading the radio scripts at the moment and I adore the directions.

Favourite bits include when the dolphins swim off "So long and thanks for all the fish", Deep Thought "Forty-two" and Marvin the Paranoid Android "Life, don't talk to me about life". I was in stitches throughout the entire thrilogy in four parts as I am yet to read the third.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has made a topic about it sooner actually...

It's actually 5 books, and the storyline goes in this order:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe, and Everything
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
Mostly Harmless

Isn't the bit of the sixth book that Adams finished before he died in some of the sets as well?

Personally, I thought the movie was a disappointment. I also went in with very high expectations, and spent the whole time comparing it to the book. I have a lot of things I didn't like about it......

And all the friends I dragged to it didn't like it either. The first half is good and then it gets different. Ah well.

But the books are still some of the best ones ever!
