The most important lesson you will learn from this book is to never be without your towel! Hitch a ride around the surreal galaxy with plodding Earthman Arthur Dent. Be amazed by improbable starship “Heart of Gold” and disgusted by the dastardly Vogons. Mostly be prepared to chuckle your way through the adventures of Arthur, Ford Prefect, Trillion and Zaphod Beeblebrox as they zoom through the marvellous imagination of Douglas Adams.
This is one of the most original and delightfully strange books I have ever read. At this point it has become one of my go to books if I am in need of a boost. Adams populates his galaxy with a whole host of memorable oddballs who you will be delighted to revisit many times. So take a chance and most importantly, Don’t Panic!

Haven’t read this for ages; it was cult reading when I was a sixth-former. Might have to dig around on my bookshelves and re-read it!
