I listened to an unabridged reading of this on the radio. I don't think I've read this before although I'm sure I've seen the TV adaptation. I though both the reading and the story were excellent. I was very easy to listen to several episodes in a row. I noticed myself being frustrated when Bill's progress was blocked. In the end I wish it could have continued.

This is the original and in many ways the best of Hitchhikers. It shares many excellent moments with the book and especially the TV series but what is great about this version is the extra material. Too few people know about the "shoe event horizon", "the problem of Lintila", and "a cup held in mid-air by art". If you like Hitchhikers then do make an effort to get hold of this.
