Based on the computer game that Douglas Adams developed. He couldn't be bothered to write the novel version, so Terry Jones did it for him…in the nude! It's quite a horny book (probably because Terry Jones was naked at the keyboard). Amusing and definitely woven through with Adams's sense of humour and preoccupations with technology. Expertly narrated by Bill Nighy, who is a great hang. Typical of Adams's work in that it's not a compelling plot; more a series of amusing scenes and characters. Probably one of those books that had more of a commercial than a literary imperative and slightly adjacent to but not divorced from the Adams cannon.
