'It's all absolutely devastatingly true -- except the bits that are lies' Douglas Adams

Don't Panic celebrates the life of an ape-descended human called Douglas Adams who, in a field in Innsbruck in 1971, had an idea.

This is also the story of what that idea became: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- the original radio series which started it all, and the five book 'trilogy', the TV series, almost-film, computer game, towel and website that followed.

Acclaimed author Neil Gaiman also tells the whole story of Liff, the Universe of Dick Gently, and everything else Douglas ever worked on, including his posthumous collection The Salmon of Doubt. As Douglas himself said, it is 'certainly the most outstandingly brilliant book to have been written about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy since this morning.'

Completely updated, with a new foreword by Neil Gaiman

Makes you want to discover Douglas Adams all over again

4 estrellas

Neil Gaiman has a lot of respect for Douglas Adams' work and quirkiness, and therefore you can feel the endearment just from reading. The book is funny - mostly through footnotes - and I learnt a lot that I wouldn't say is essential to understand Adams, but it planted a willingness in me to read everything again. I even want to listen to the original radio series. This book is worth reading if you enjoy Douglas Adams the man, and not exactly for Hitchhiker's Guide even though it is a big chunk of him.
