That's why the rest of the series is about the search for the ultimate question.
I'd just like to say whoever was responsible for the script of that that horrible fucking Hollywood movie after Douglas died will be the first ones up against the wall when the revelation comes.
Yeah, you can tell the point where he died during production of the movie 
I read this (and the other stories) prolly 5-6 times in the last 4 years. I love to read, but I rarely find a book that I enjoy. This one was awesome for me.

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

the movie was just disappointing to me because they tried to cram all 5 books into a single 2 hour show, and that just can't work. I would have loved to see a 5 movie contract for the series though, it had potential to be downright incredible if they gave it the kind of attention it deserved 
Absolutely my favorite book series of all time though

Yeah, Arthur getting the girl was just bullshit too. He's supposed to be a total loser! That's the whole beauty of the character!

See, that term pedo gets thrown around a lot.
Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.

I dunno guys I think the movie exposed a lot of us that didn't know about the book. I know I saw the movie long before I expressed any interest in reading the book. But don't panic I still think the movie is cool just not as good as the book. With so many incarnations(the radio show, the tv show, the movie, and the book) I like to think of the movie as a separate entity from the book. Both are good but both are different.

Same here. The movie is what got me interested in reading the books. I try to separate the book and the movie, because if I didn't, I would completely hate the movie.
I was completely amazed by the movies subject matter, and unfamiliar humor. And this was around the time where I first got interested in psychedelics. Fate or deja vu? It really got me interested in british comedy.
Mos def's acting was pretty lame but not off putting. Zoey's is cute like always. And my nigga Sam Rockwell created one of my favorite movie characters EVAR.
AWESOME

I saw her sing god bless america during the seventh inning stretch a few days ago for the Giants Phillies game. I was like Deschanel? Why do I know that name? Is that Bones? Then I figured out it was her sister. Both hot though but its weird that they could almost pass for twins. They even sound the same.
