Don't leave the Earth without this hilarious international bestseller about the end of the world and the happy-go-lucky days that follow ... about the worst Thursday that ever happened, and why the Universe is a lot safer if you bring a towel .. --back cover
Plus you'll understand many more pop culture references!
The book doesn't go into entirely too much detail than the movie portrays. Still an awesome story worthy if reading if you haven't, but you'll want to save your time if you've watched it already.
Most of the fun stems from its unpredictability. There are also some hilarious quotes in here. But, besides its gags, it doesn't have a lot to offer. The only theme to it is that (human) life is largely insignificant. But it's only explored superficially. Especially when rereading, the book can become somewhat of a bore.
