Anmeldelser
«It's science fiction and it's extremely funny...inspired lunacy that leaves hardly a science fiction cliche alive.»
Washington Post
«The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes, and his travels afford a wild satire of present institutions.»
Chicago Tribune
«Very simply, the book is one of the funniest SF spoofs ever written, with hyperbolic ideas folding in on themselves.»
School Library Journal
«A sci-fi book, packed full of adventure and humour»
