The Grandest Project of All.....or not?

I am currently reading The hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

The book, was published in 1979. The second one (which I am also done) was published in 1980. The third (I am reading) was published in 1982. The fourth (Yet to read) in 1985. The fifth (Yet to read) in 1992.

Douglas Adams came up for the idea of the book while lying drunk in a field in Austria. He forgot about the book though until at a later date, he remembered the book and hosted a radio show about it.

The book is about a man ( Arthur Dent ) and his planet is blown up to make way for a Highway. He links up with a galactic hitchhiker and goes on many interesting adventures trying to make sence of what is around him and what has happened.

Arthur Dent is a regular English citizen. He is smart, funny and also very wicked when angry. He and his companion get a ride on a large space freighter which destroys his planet. He later learns that his planet was created and owned by mice and that the awnser to all things is simply, 42. He does go slightly mad throughout the book, but, always returns to his regular self. He seems to grow as a person throughout the story, becoming more confident and more excepting of what the world truly is.

I like the book alot. I feel that the story also fits my personality; it being random and exciting. I would give the story a 5/5 for being informative,funny,sad, and interesting all in one book.
I also feel that anyone could read and like this story and like it. It is simply an amazing book.
