Wow. By far my least enjoyed books of this year.
To sum it up:
-Though it was science fiction and had some interesting details, those details often went off on tangents, leaving me confused and constantly wondering what was going on.
- The author's delivery, in my opinion, was pretty poorly done. Everything was in a jumble, and I would have appreciated the information given more if it was delivered in a simple, composed way.
- Hitting upon the first note, it seemed as though the book did not stay on one event or character for a while, except in the beginning, where the spent a fair amount of time introducing the main characters.
Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick read, or science fiction, for that matter.

"Paniğe kapılmayın" çünkü elinizdeki kitap dünyanın en eğlenceli ve en ince mizahına sahip kitabıdır.

Bu tedirgin, boğucu ve belirsiz zaman diliminde okunabilecek en iyi kitaplardan biri kuşkusuz. Şahsımca bir kitaptan daha da öte.. Belki edebi bir tadı yok ama bunun dışında içinde her şey ama her şey var!

Evrene dair bildiklerimiz ve bilebileceklerimiz; birbirinden absürt kurgu ve karikatürize karakterlerle ve bu absürtlüğü sayesinde insanı içine çeken öyle bir anlatımla harmanlanmış ki hayran kalmamak elde değil. Kahkahalar ata ata, bazen sadece içten içe kikirdeye kikirdeye, bazen de tabiri caizse varoluşun hiçliğinin komiği bundan daha güzel nasıl çıkarilabilir diye düşüne düşüne bir bakmışsınız bitmiş.. Hacimli bir kitap olmasına karşın hiç bitmese, sonsuza kadar devam etse keşke denilen o nadir kitaplardan. Tıpkı minicik beyinlerimizle kendimizce algıladığımız evren gibi..

Douglas Adams'ın ölümünden sonra bilgisayarından çıkan taslaklarla derlenen Galakside Son Bir Kez Otostop Çekmek -Kuşkucu Somon bu beşli kadar iyi midir bilmiyorum ama kesinlikle okuyacağım, alındı listeye.

Son olarak zaman, evren, varoluş, farklı boyutlar gibi kavramlar ile ilgiliyseniz size bu mevzularda yazılmış çizilmiş şeylerin birçoğundan bambaşka yerlerden dokunuyor.. Daha karikatür, daha dünyalı daha lineer bir yerden :) Kıssadan hisse Italo Calvino'nun Bütün Kozmokomik Öyküler'inden sonra hayatımda okuduğum, Kozmos'a dair en iyi kitaplardan biriydi.

Muhtemelen çoğu ayrıntısını hatırlamamakla beraber; okurken aldığım tadı, bıraktığı düşünsel tatmini, attığım kahkahaları asla unutmayacağım.

One of my all time favorites! It's unique and hilarious, simply unputdownable!

The reader Suzy down below says it best: "Terribly witty and sickeningly clever"

Basically, the Hitchhiker series is the equivalent of Douglas Adams using some sort of godless magic to conjure pure unconcentrated "Funny" into the form of a hideous, many-spiked, eight ton iron mace, which he then proceeds to viciously and remorselessly beat you with for several hours or until you give him your package of store bought cookies, which he believes are his because you both bought the same brand and happen to be sitting at the same table that day, but his are unwittingly hidden underneath his newspaper and so he's assumed you've stolen them.

That's why I've taken to reading this compilation by flipping to a random page and only reading a chapter at a time. "HG to the G" is like a well crafted roux - on its own it's much too potent to eat, but as a sauce spread thinly upon your otherwise dull and eventless day, it is delicious.

I don't know what everyone is so bent out of shape about-- the ending was perfect, and exactly what i've been hoping it would be.
my only regret is that I didn't read these when I was 12, because my head would have exploded. it's too bad I'm not able to go back in time to give them to myself, because if I could, it already would have happened.

When Douglas Adams wrote Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, he used a crazy, outrageous style of writing. I enjoyed it a lot. The only character I really could relate was ||Marvin. I felt sorry for him, and felt pity in how he was treated by others. I was flabbergasted when 42 came up. And to this day, I'm kicking myself in the ass trying to figure out what that means, Lmao. Books 2-5 didn't have what the first one did. So I really couldn't get into them as much as I did in the first book. But there were plenty of things going on throughout the books that I thought was funny. All in all, I'm going to rate this 3/5

"Absürdlükler Teorisi" ve "Saçmalıklar Kuramı" ile yaratılan, espritüelliği yüksek bir evrenin akıllıca kurgulanması diyebiliriz kitap için. Aslında yazarın dehası da bu işte: Sunduğu evrenin "anlamsızlığı"nın oldukça sürükleyici oluşu. Kimine göre(celi) boş bir kitap (ya da kitaplar) gelebilir ama, "okumadan bilemezsin" derler. En can alıcı noktası, bizleri, insanları ve dünyayı evrenin "ucuna "koyarak ne kadar da önemsiz olduğumuzu bize hatırlatması. Sonuçta popüler kültüre (müzik, televizyon, sinema vs) malzeme sağlaması bile eserin etkilerini anlamaya değer.

Parts were and at times remain the height of funny, but there's a lot of trash in there (wtf was going on with the last book?). Certainly an old friend, read and reread literally countless times. Back when I ate a lot of acid, I'd curl up with this big hardback as the sun rose and those horrible hours of introspection, self-loathing and promises to improve oneself tried to kick in. Everyone ought read it, but that also means everyone *can* read it, which kind of reduces the allure.

Better late than never. After decades of hearing about this series, I finally broke down and read this collection. I laughed so much I thought I'd pass out.

I will definitely keep my towel handy.

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 (★★★★★)

I think I might need to lie down and cry a little now... [Prtf]

I am a huge fan of this series because:

1. The writing style is hands down amazing
2. This is a satire in science fiction's clothing
3. The plot is highly original and unpredictable
4. The author's creativity is remarkable
5. Pretty much every page has at least one quote
6. It is a fun, light read that touches on deep subjects
7. It features one of my favourite robot characters (Marvin)
8. Oh, and it is hilarious

I love this series so much that I dedicated my 42nd blog post to Douglas Adams.

I recommend this series to everyone I know. Seriously, I could shout about it from rooftops (i.e., if I ever drop my book/laptop/kindle, get up from my couch and venture out to the rooftop).
