Three was made up with pieces for a Doctor Who series that were never used, and does not feel like a real Hitchhikers' book. I did not like it. Four and five, I and don't know yet, am reading them. But they can never be better than one and two. And yes, it is necessary to read the first book first. If you wish, you can read only the first one.(less)

If you'd read the the first two you'd know the answer to your question.

There is no plot. Anything in any of these books that in anyway resembles a "plot" was put there by Adams just to throw you off the scent. Don't expect a plot, don't look for a plot; just read and enjoy. (less)

Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) Today's kids will probably miss a lot of the 1980s pop culture references, but there's nothing in it to shock or scare them.…moreToday's kids will probably miss a lot of the 1980s pop culture references, but there's nothing in it to shock or scare them.(less)
