The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy read by Stephen Fry is unique master piece emerged from works of two capable artist. Douglas Adams have pretty unique sense of humor which I had the pleasure to be acquainted with for the first time. I had no expectation what so ever from this book since I had not a pleasant experience from science fiction books in this nature. However I found the audio book performed by Stephen Fry quite amusing and entertaining.

Stephen Fry is a fantastic actor which illustrates his skills and arts within this book. Imaging the science fiction seens are way easier and enjoyable the way Stephen Fry read or better to say play the book. I have listen to plenty of audio books, this book is among the most enjoyable ones (another was The Alchemist read by Jeremy Irons).

Douglas Adams style within the Hitchhiker's Guild to the Galaxy caught me by surprise. He decorated his science fiction novel with hilarious circumstances, conversations, and pretty ridiculous and funny analogies especially when you least expecting them. (e.g.: .... He had an odd feeling of being like a man in the act of adultery who is surprised when the woman's husband wanders into the room, changes his trousers, passes a few idle remarks about the weather and leaves again. )

This audio book experience suggests good readers make the book interesting and exciting. I am not sure I would like the book as much if read by any other author.
