Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I know the book is the german version, but that does not mean it's less funny!
Ok, so I'll admit, it's probably less funny than in the original, but that's because of translation difficulties, not because germans don't have a sense of humour.
I have to say that I found the Guide quite funny. However, that's where it stops for me. It's hilarious at the beginning and then manages to loose pace towards the end, when it just becomes strange. I found myself wondering more than once, where the hell the story was going. That's not necessarily always a bad thing, but in this case, I thought the humour didn't quite cover for the deteriorating story line.
I would rate it as funny, but certainly not funnier than Pratchett! I will, however, read the otherones in the series, hoping that Adams was just finding his feet on this one.

I'm afraid the later books are not as good generally though the first few are still pretty awesome. However I would disagree with you that the book is not awesome in its entirety :)

Either that, or he just decided to do quadratic equations, fiendishly difficult ones by all account!
