Not really. It's much better read, or maybe best of all, heard in the
original programs that went out on Radio 4 in the early evenings in the late
70's. Those are famous, likely easily had in various ways. I've seen the
movie, but it doesn't work for me so well. Some of it is great, but they
totally failed to get Marvin right, and that means they lost a lot of the
depth of it. I liked their Vogons though.


I prefer the book to the radio program, also. A fun read - and quite
appropriate in today's world.

I have the radio shows on tape in the car, very good for a long drive. Not
a patch on the book for me, though. I've read and re-read them loads of
times since I was a teenager. And the BBC TV series from the early 80s is
superior to the 2005 film in every way.
