Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Extremely funny . . . inspired lunacy . . . [and] over much too soon.”—The Washington Post Book World

"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] whimsical odyssey . . . Characters frolic through the galaxy with infectious joy.”—Publishers Weekly
