Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or simply h2g2! This has to be one of the most exhilarating novels I have ever read. I am really thankful to my friend who first introduced me to this amazing book.In a so-called attempt to unfold the mystery behind life, universe and everything, Douglas Adams has certainly created a master-piece. Whether its the plot, or the weird sense of humour, or the unique style of writing, Douglas Adams far exceeds the expectations! The imagination of the author is simply unparalleled.
Be it the theory of the Total Perspective Vortex or the Babel Fish or the Infinite Improbability drive, or the concept of the Vogons and their poetry. Its just hilarious and will keep you interested in the book right through the end. This book has left a lasting influence on the readers and the characters in this novel continue to live through the minds of the readers in the form of names of many software products (Trillian and KBabel to name a few). All in all a great, must read novel for all book lovers.
I am sure you will start taking care of your towel after reading the book ;)
