I haven't read The Guide, but that bear is AWESOME!!!!!

I'm also in the group that doesn't hold the book in as high-regard...

The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the first book I can remember that made me spontaneously laugh out loud. But it was more the turns of phrase and the way things were worded that struck me as amusing, rather than anything that actually happened in the stories, so perhaps things like that would not come across as well in either a translated version or to a non-native English speaker. I did not find any of the sequels nearly as hilarious.

I am happy to have read the series so that I can sass the frequent references that still appear in popular culture.
