Industry Reviews

"Simpson's readable and balanced biography is primarily concerned with factual accuracy...and he is not afraid to contradict Adam's own myths about his life" - The Sunday Times

"M J Simpson's minutely researched and yet beautifully readable biography reveals Adam's most profound successes" Paul Fitzpatrick at www.madaboutbooks.com - www.madaboutbooks.com

This exhaustively researched life...is an impressive feat of devotion." - The Guardian

"Simpson's biography charts Adam's life with the reverence one would expect from a lifelong Hitchhiker fan but also with the honesty a reader deserves...sheer entertainment in its own right" - The Oxford Times

"Simpson's biography of Adams is surprisingly tart, coming from a fan whose obsession with his subject appears to fall just this side of stalkerhood." - The Financial Times

"For this fascinating biography Simpson had access to the only private archives relating to Adam's work that exist. His style is as sardonic and sharp-edged as that of Adam's own work and perfectly complements his subject" - The Good Books Guide 2003
