The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

One of the world's sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices * Independent on Sunday * Very occasionally a book comes along that changes the way you laugh and what you laugh about - Richard Dawkins Quite good I suppose, if you like brilliantly entertaining books written with a touch of imaginative genius - Griff Rhys Jones He discovered a completely new genre - scientific wit - and having discovered it he raised it to dizzying heights - Tony Robinson There has never been another writer remotely like Douglas Adams. He changed the way people spoke - Stephen Fry He had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. Davies, writer and producer of Doctor Who This book can be witty, iconoclastic, godless, savage, sweet, surreal, but above all, it dares to be silly. Hitchhiker's is packed with that unique energy, all barmy and bristling and bold. It's literally out of this world - Tom Baker I would class Douglas, because he saw things differently, and he was capable of communicating the way he saw things, and once he explained things the way he saw them, it was almost impossible to see them the way you used to see them - Neil Gaiman

Some brilliantly smart people, but only a tiny handful would I class as geniuses. I haven't known many geniuses in my life. A work of staggering genius - David Walliamsįizzing with ideas. One of the greatest achievements in comedy.
