I received 'The Ultimate Guide The Hithchiker's Guide To The Galaxy' as a gift. I had heard a bit about it from others and decided to ask for the book which encapsulates the entire THGTTG saga. I heard how good the book was from several people (and I've read some great reviews on it). I found after reading it that the book didn't click with me. I enjoy English humor and I found some of the story mildly funny, but that's about it. I didn't find this book interesting enough to elevate it to cult status for me. I found THGTTG readable, but for those of you who know the "other" THGTTG stories (included in the saga book I purchased), I found those other stories increasingly unable to hold my attention. I continued through 'The Ultimate Guide The Hithchiker's Guide To The Galaxy' until I could no longer bring myself to pick up the book and continue. Maybe it's because I really enjoy science fiction and am somewhat critical of SciFi, not sure. I grew up reading Asimov and Clarke, both who seemed to infuse a sense of real possibility within their stories. These are the SciFi stories I like best.
