By turns authoritative as the narrator, bemused as Arthur Dent, deadpan as Ford Prefect and manic as Zaphod Beeblebrox, he [Stephen Fry] makes an altogether appropriate readerThe Times
One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering geniusDavid Walliams
I haven’t known many geniuses in my life. Some brilliantly smart people, but only a tiny handful would I class as geniuses. I would class Douglas, because he saw things differently, and he was capable of communicating the way he saw things, and once he explained things the way he saw them, it was almost impossible to see them the way you used to see themNeil Gaiman
He had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spokeStephen Fry
