Anyone here have chapter summaries on The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I have 2 days to finish off a huge project on it, and I lost my copy of the book and am not able to obtain a copy. I would prefer a chapter-by-chapter summary so I know what event happens when and which character comes in at which chapter. The only problem is that I can't find any free ones. All I want to know is what happens in each chapter and which chapter characters are first mentioned. Thanks in advance. [Edited by - TheRealMastermind on January 7, 2005 2:03:31 PM]

That would be an insult to Douglas Adams. You could order the book right now and have it shipped over night.

The only problem is that I am in an island where you can't order the book (or anything) online. I spent the last 8 hours searching for a copy, and couldn't find one anywhere.

The chapters in the book and the radio series is not in the same order, so that is not a good solution.

... I am in an island ...

therefore, logically, the book should still be on the island [grin]

I wouldn't normally mention this, but since you're in trouble: there are ... ways .. to get a PDF copy of that book, using the Internet. Be creative.

You didn't look too hard. Yes, this costs money. Yes, that's what happens when you wait until the last minute to do a project and lose the book [grin].

Edit: More info: Seems to be 7.99 for access to the study guide, and they also seem to have an online pdf version of the book you can buy. Nevermind, the pdf is just another version of the study guide.
