Now in audiobook for the first time ever! Read by Simon
Jones, the original “Arthur Dent,” and written by #1 New York Times
bestselling author Neil Gaiman, Don’t Panic is the definitive chronicle
of all things Hitchhiker!
First published in 1986 and updated several times since, Don’t
Panic is in an in-depth exploration of Douglas Adams’s cultural phenomenon
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – from its beginnings as a UK radio
series, to its expansion into a wildly popular book trilogy, and onto
incarnations in various media including stage, records, film, computer games,
and even, um, tea towels. Don’t Panic was the first book by
internationally bestselling author Neil Gaiman, written early in his writing
career when he worked as a freelance journalist in his native England. Voiced
by renowned actor Simon Jones – “Arthur Dent” himself – and with a new introduction
written and read by Neil Gaiman, Don’t Panic: Douglas Adams & The
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy audio edition is the ultimate version of
this beloved work.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

More problematic are the sections written after the untimely death of Douglas Adams. It seems at times that Gaiman is trying to write in Douglas Adams' voice, trying to make the same jokes that Douglas Adams would have made. I'm not sure if this is deliberate, and Neil Gaiman may in fact be more qualified to try to do this than nearly anyone on the planet, but it still doesn't quite work for me. The later parts of the book also delve heavily into the author's opinion, while presenting them as fact. I also felt like some sections, especially towards the end of the book, were a bit like listening to movie credits read aloud.
One question that kept occurring to me throughout the book was why so much time is spent talking about Dirk Gently when the book is ostensibly about the HHGTTG.
With that said, this book was greatly enjoyable, and I learned a lot that I had not previously known about both HHGTTG and Douglas Adams.
