Download The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Audiobook

" What an enchanting book! Listened with my 11 year old son as we traveled about and every time we got in the car he'd start saying "Hitchhiker! Hitchhiker!". Engaging, funny and very well read (performed). "

" The hitchhikers Guide is a must have in any library. The narration is excellent and the story line by Douglas Adams is a classic. This is the first in a series of five books that will amuse everyone. The important things to remember are Don't Panic and bring you towel. "

" Took out this one as I was hooked on the story years ago - seems dated all these years later, but a fun listen all the same. "

" Don't panic! You will laugh your feet (and socks) off with this book! "

" British humour and genuinely imaginative fiction after so long. If only I'd read it earlier in life.. "

" Seminal is a word easily thrown around. Douglas Adams started a genre with Hitchhiker's Guide. Equal parts Monty Python and Star Trek characters that live on in memorial to an amazing talent. "

" This is on of my favorite books ever! douglas adams does a good shop in crafting a funny and interesting. The story is about earth being destroyed and the only person who survived was a everyday english man who happen to be friends with a humanoid alien. As the main character named arthur goes and a anverture meeting many people on the way to find the meaning of life. "

" Adams is hillarious and this BBC Radio play of the first book in the Hitchhiker's series does not dissappoint. Hearing the characters come to life as only the BBC can do makes for side-splitting laughter. "

" Gets a little silly and stupid at times, but it a sci-fi classic. "

" Forced me into playing the interactive fiction experience...nuf said "

" This book was very popular and I expected it to be fantastic. I must admit I was disappointed. "

" Enjoyable, and interestingly different from the books. It's fun to hear the behind the scenes information at the end as well. "

" Entertaining all the way through. A classic, and definitely one of my favorites! "

" Humor. Absurdity. Philosophy. Fantasy. A classic. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Read by the author who was great as the reader. "

" I could try to write a review of this book, or I could create a super computer to come up with the review for me. Truly an exciting read, though one is left with the niggling feeling of being an idiot. I quite loved it. "

" I think this quote perfect describes Adams' writing style: "There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." "

" The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a fun book. "

" If you have a silly bone on your body- then you will love this! The best book of the series. "

" This was a great book. I can't believe it took me this long to read it. I read more like a comedy book, there were so many times when I just put the book down and laughed. "

" It really interesting and funny. Irony at its best. "

" Very nicely done radio adventure :) "

" Fun but short original radio version of the book. Entertaining listening for about 3 hours for fans. "

" Didn't love it, didn't hate it, but it did make me laugh quite a bit. "

" I've only seen the movie, haven't read the book, but here's the start of the original radio play. I love the cast! (I love Zooey as Trillian better in the movie, but I love the original-cast Zaphod much better than the movie version.) Can't wait to see what happens next.... "

" Infinitely better book than movie! Hahaha, see what I did there? "

" I listened to this every night for 10 years going to sleep. It is the greatest work of comedic sci-fi ever written, but also attains a much deeper philosophy than most give it credit for. Although the stories are similar, the radio series still stands as the best version of the HHGTTG. "

" Love it! A fabulous combination of Douglas Adams' great imagination and his dry British sense of humor. "

" So I got to this one WAY late. It's something I should have read ages ago but, for some reason, never picked up. It's a quick read and definitely worth picking up. "

" I had forgotten how funny this one was. "Life. Don't talk to me about life." :-) "

" If you enjoyed the books, buy this, the radio version. Brilliantly done, and SO much better than the rather amateurish job they did with putting it on the small screen. The guy playing Marvin is a pure joy! "

" This is so very funny! "

" Would more give this 4.5 stars, but oh well. Delightfully fun book. Has a bit of a slow start, but really gets going about half way through. Not my first time reading this so I don't have too much to say except that anyone who loves British humor should read this book. "

" One of the best books I have read. "

" Heard such great things about this book. Just not my style. "

" Some dated material and lots that isn't in the books. The documentary at the end of the plays was great. "

" What can one say? A must read for anyone who enjoys laughing at themselves and at humanity. "

" Outstanding piece of comic science fiction. "

" One of the funniest books of SciFi I ever read. Fall over laughing! "

" Must-read, at least once in your life. "

" I love that this audiobook is the original radio trascript. (not sure about cast)

It is hard to follow some of the British humor, being a lowly American without being about to read it and think about the line. "

" Des Lebensrätsels Lösung ist . . . "
