I always recommend people to listen to the radio series. It's the original version, it's funnier and it has more structure - the first book was essentially an adaptation of the first four episodes of the radio series, and Adams was so behind on his deadline that they just ended the first book mid-story. If you do want closure, the second book does have a proper ending.
