Quoting Darren Addy <[email protected]>:
Badly written can still be enjoyed if it has clever concepts and the book was full of clever concepts. I would call it mostly "amusing" rather than funny. In any event, oneshould probably know them just if one is going to be literate in the cultural references, unless you enjoy things regularly whizzing over your head. Reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy also represents a rite of passage for us white & nerdy types. That said, it isn't a work that I, personally, plan on rereading.
I missed the radio series and the TV series an never got around to reading Hitchhikers until I found a Kindle version a couple of years ago. I found it amusing, but it was a struggle to finish the 'trilogy'.
