I loved the movie. It makes me want to go out and read the book.

One of my favorite parts was teh infinite probability drive...

You haven't read the book?!?

Run - don't walk - to your nearest bookstore and GET it. NOW. And don't forget to take your towel with you, just in case.

Without question buy the first 3. Now!

Then probably skip the 4th and only go for 5 if you want a conclusion and really liked the first three. Having said that there are some good bits in 4. Meh just get one of "Trilogy in 5 parts" all in one books and make your own mind up.

Then get both the Dirk Gently books which are also excellent.

I just could not bring myself to read these books. I don't know why that is, just is.

I saw it today. I'm not judgemental so I can't say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, neither will I say it was bad. I like it though. A bit different from the books and the tv series (which I have on tape). I thought it was funny that the hologram at Magraphea is the Arthur Dent from the Tv series, and that in the queue they had the TV Marvin.

<Changing mind> Upon seeing the number of people who liked the movie, I will find my way to the theatre ASAP.

THe only version of the book that I can find is basically an exact mimic of the movie, not a "5 in one" trilogy or even the seperate books.
