The books have lost a little of their impact since I read them back in high school, but the first three are still classics of comedy science-fiction. The last two novels (and the short story Young Zaphod Plays it Safe) have their moments, but I started to get the sense Adams was sort of tired of writing them by this point. I think what sets these apart from those authors (Christopher Moore, Terry Pratchett, Jasper Fforde, etc.) is that beyond the real sense of the absurdity of existence, the foibles of humanity and how most of us are trying to do the best we can in this crazy, mixed-up galaxy.
