The story begins with single middle aged Londoner Arthur who has one best friend called Forde. But one day Vo.. something space creatures come to the earth with big space ship and warned the earth people that the planet earth is about to be destroyed in less than five minutes. By the way announcer's voice was as horrible as his face as his face has shown in huge television on spaceship.
The interesting thing was Arthur's one and only best friend Ford happens to be alien and came to earth accidentally and became Arthur's best friend during his 25 year's life on the earth. So Ford took Arthur with him into Vo...'s space ship and together they hitchhiked into the Galaxy.
Not long after they boarded the ship are they discovered by those Vo.. creatures captain who was meanest biggest and ugliest of all others. Even though Arthur the earth man liked his poem they were thrown out into the open galaxy. And again they were picked up by infinity engine space ship when they were in the space for exactly 29 seconds. The two hitchhikers met Marvin the depressed robot(very bright and depressed...) and Beeblebrox and Trinita, two other crew members of the ship.
Zaphod is galaxy president and Ford's half-brother and he has two head. He stole this one and only ship in the whole galaxy and searching for planet made of gold. After many many days of travelling at light speed they find the glamorous golden planet. The planet was just bare waste land but travelers find they way in through crack made by sperm whale ; the whale hit the ground from the planet's atmosphere.
Under the surface they met architect who designed Norway. According to the book the Earth was the super computer built by another super computer named "Deep thought" which was greatest computer in the galaxy and only surpassed by The earth. Many million years ago this planet's inhabitants created super computer "Deep thought" to ask life's ultimate question "what is meaning of universe, life and everything?". So the "Deep thought" thought about it for ten million years and answered "42". And "Deep thought" explained that the Earth which it will build would answer and explain the inhabitant's question and answer thoroughly.
And this book has five series and "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" is the series one. I can not guarantee you exact details of the book since i wrote it from my memory. Please leave comment about what you thought about my review.
