content: Because it makes so many "best of" SF lists, I read it. I actually got a bit more than I expected - Adams's writing is quite good, and I picked up on a number of modern cultural references derived from the book - but as far as humor goes it's a zero. Obviously I'm in the minority, but keep in mind thatThe Facts of Life: Season Fourgets a higher average rating by Amazon customers, so there's your yardstick.
