Yazara haksizlik etmek istemem ama durmadan ordan oraya sürüklenen, kacislar ve zor durumlarla bezeli, gercekten gulmek istiyorsaniz cok nadir olarak -o da sacma seyler oldugunu dusundugum yerler vardi- bulunmakta.

Eger kurgusunu bircok sacma seyle doldurmasaymis yazar iyi bir is cikarabilirmis. Kendi bulduğu isimler ve karakterlerin dünyaların yapıları çok iyiydi. Bu yuzen uc yildiz verdim yoksa iki verebilirdim.

Ayrica diğer yorum yazanlarada katiliyorum ilk uc kitap son ikiye gore daha iyi bir halde.

AUTOSTOPERSKI VODIČ KROZ GALAKSIJU-DAGLAS ADAMS
✒️"–Život–reče Marvin mračno. –Možete da ga se gadite ili da ne obraćate pažnju na njega,ali ne možete ga voleti."
✒️"–Život je,reče on–kao grejpfrut.
–Ovaj,a kako to?
–Pa,spolja je žuto-narandžast i ima rupice,a iznutra je sočan i mek. Ima i koštice. Oh,a neki ljudi pojedu pola za doručak."

The coolest five-book trilogy ever. Seriously some of the best and original science fiction ever written, and it just happens to be hilarious. Not too many people have the balls to write a trilogy that starts off with the absolute destruction of earth for no other reason than the fact that it was in the path of a hyperspace highway that was soon to become obsolete with the advent of the improbability drive. Speaking of which, the technology in these books is easily more imaginative than anything that George Lucas has thought of in the last twenty years. I look forward to the day when I can receive all of my nutrients through a towel. Painting myself pink has yet to be attempted, but I have no doubt that I would become somebody else's problem. My goal in life is to create Disaster Area's completely frictionless ship that gets launched into a nearby star at the climax of their planet-wide concerts. Someday.... Reading these books is essential for living. If you appreciate anything from Monty Python (Adams worked with the Pythons on occasion) or want to read something original, read this iconic trilogy. You will not be sorry.

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (5-star)
What a blast! This zany, whacky, completely absurd story has a plot, a reason for being, a vision. It's so off the wall! I loved the absurdness and the way events came together so well, for all their craziness.
I have read this "trilogy" of 5 books many years ago. I've remembered so much of it incorrectly. I've forgotten even more than I remember. It's wonderful to have the zaniness brought back to life in this rereading.
Marvin is still my favorite character.

The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe (5 star)
Originally, this was my favorite scene in this entire book. I hope the Restaurant is as great as I remember it to be.
Update: Yes, it is. Milliway's (the restaurant at the end of the Universe) is still an amazing restaurant to visit. The concept is so imaginative and spectacular.
The rest of this book continues in the zany, wonderful unfolding of a very good story.

Life, The Universe and Everything (4-star)
The Room of Informational Illusions...…. brilliant! What a marvelous way to learn history.
The planet of Krikket….great story. A people who so cannot imagine a universe or others besides themselves who, when they learn of these things, feel the need to destroy anyone that is not them. They simply cannot imagine others. Also, I loved the reason why Earth is avoided and ignored by all the other planets and how it related to the planet Krikket.
The never-ending party!
A wonderful continuation of this series. Full of off-the-wall, zany situations and feats of logic.

So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

This could possibly be one of the most epic books of all time, easily passing up the biography of Chuck Norris and the complete works of J.K. Rowling. I have read all 5 books at least 8 times over and can pretty much recite the first chapter of the first book from memory. At night i fall asleep to the gentle sounds of Stephen Fry reading The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from my AM/FM 2 disc CD/cassette radio player box.
Though you can start with any of the five books, i wouldn't suggest starting with any one but the first, otherwise your head has a tendency to explode. The story starts out in the quiet rather boring life of one Arthur Dent. Upon getting up one morning, he finds that there are several rather large and yellowish bulldozers preparing to destroy his home. He is somewhat angry about this and makes the most logical choice to go lay down in front of one to stall for time. Things go badly for him, and, a couple hours later, the Earth gets vaporized in a brutal sort of way by a rather nasty group of slug-things called Vogons. Luckily, Arthur has the brains to be chummy with Ford Prefect... who just so happens to be an alien hitchhiker from the planet Betelgeuse. Ford uses a fancy ring to hitch a ride on the nearest Vogon ship just seconds before ole' Earth kicks the bucket.
Throughout the next four installments of the series, Ford Prefect and Arthur journey through the universe visiting such places as Magrothea, a nifty little planet where they make custom order worlds for rich people. Another exciting place they journey to is the odorous world of Vogsphere. Bad luck befalls the duo, and they are almost fed to the Ravenous Bug-Blatter Beast of Traal. On a brighter note, they manage to kill a jeweled crab with the door of a spaceship. They are supported by a colorful class of characters including the two-headed, charismatic President of the Universe, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and his (from what im told) pretty sexy girlfriend, Trillian.
I would suggest this book to anyone and everyone. However, a sense of humour is required. Without it, you will undoubtedly be as lost as Willy Wonka is in a nutritional foods store. There are some groups however that should not read this work of excellence even if they have a sense of humour. They include, but are not limited to, animals, seeing as how the absence of opposible thumbs might make it difficult for them to turn the pages, and PETA, because they will be angry that animals were not given equal rights as humans in this review.

Prilično sam sigurna da je ovo, za sada, jedina knjiga prilikom čijeg čitanja sam morala da napravim nekoliko meseci pauze zarad vlastitog dobra, što se ispostavio kao dobar potez.

Apsurd kojim ovih pet priča obiluje je inicijator fantastičnog humora i u više navrata sam se nasmejala glasnije nego što bih smela da priznam. Takođe, ne mogu a da se ne sažalim na sirotog Artura Denta koji mi je momentalno prirastao srcu uz još sirotijeg Marvina. Razlog za pomenutu pauzu tokom čitanja leži u neverovatnom broju obrta u pričama koji se za trenutak graniči sa besmislom i predstavlja noćnu moru bilo kome sa iole slabijom koncentracijom.

Sa druge strane, ni sama nisam bila svesna odličnih fazona koji su u opštoj upotrebi godinama unazad, a za koje nisam imala pojma da potiču baš iz Autostoperskog vodiča kroz galaksiju. Prema prvoj priči je snimljen i film, pa ko voli, nek' izvoli :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371724/

İroni ve kronoloji kavramları kendilerine yeni birer biçim bulmuş olabilir bu kitapla. Evrenin saçma sapanlıkları ve aşırı sistemli rastgeleliği üzerine, aynı şekilde saçma sapan ve aşırı sistemli bir kitap. Her şey yerini buluyor ama tam o anda bulunan şeyin orada olmadığı ortaya çıkıyor. Şaşkın bir arayış ve anlamsız buluşlar, tekrar, tekrar ve tekrar.

Keşke Marvin için başlıbaşına bir bölüm olsaydı :/

Elveda ve bütün satırlar için teşekkürler :)

Şimdi nereden başlasam nasıl anlatsam ne desem bilemiyorum bu kitap için. Standart bir bilim kurgu kitabı değil onu söylemem lazım. Çok satan, bilmem ne ödülü almış, kitaptan sonra hemen filmi yapılmış teknik terimlerle dolu kitaplardan hiç değil. Zaten terimleri sadece bu kitapta göreceğiniz türden.
Bir yol hikayesi denebilir mi? Evet, belki bu olabilir. Galaksinin herhangi bir yerinde geçen, arabalar yerine uzay gemilerinin olduğu, yolların zemininin olmadığı bir yol hikayesi denebilir.
Alıştığımız şekilde bir olay akışı hiç beklemeyin. Standart bir gidişat asla yok. Olasılıklar sonsuz ve her an her şey mümkün olabilir. Neden olmasın? Değil mi ama olabilir herşey. Hayal gücümüzü evrene bağlayabiliriz.
Yazılacak çok şey var ama ben şimdilik bu kadar yazabiliyorum. Baştan sona olayları kafamda tekrar oynatıyorum ve Douglas Adams'ın nasıl bir kafa yapısı ile bunları yazdığını düşünüyorum. Sadece esprili bir bilim kurgu yol kitabı yazmamış, aynı zamanda gönderme yapmak istediği konulara tek tek giydirmeyi de bilmiş. Hem farklı, hem komik hem de sürükleyici bir kitap bırakmış bizlere. Okuyunuz okutunuz diyorum.
Baskı ile ilgili olarak Alfa Yayınları bir kez daha takdirimi kazandı diyebilirim. Kitap kapağından cildine, puntosundan dokusuna kadar herşeyiyle çok iyi bir kitap hazırlamışlar. Mutlaka her kitaplıkta olması gereken çok güzel bir eseri, çok güzel bir sunumla sunmuşlar.
