1988 The plot gets a bit muddled at the end, but I dearly love this book. And the sofa.***Sept 10, 2012This may be one of the few books that is more rewarding to re-read. Now all those random scenes make sense.In fact, my reading pal at the mini mart and I were talking yesterday about how hard it ca...
This is in reality a reread and I'll stand by the original four stars that I gave it. It entertained me and made me smile just as much as the first time I read it. I felt I had to read it again as I have the second book now and wanted a quick refresher. I have also recently read Anubis Gates which a...

Il a dû passer par là.""- Vous avez à l'appareil Svlad, plus connu sous le nom de "Dirk" Cjelli, exerçant actuellement sous le nom de Gently, pour des raisons qu'il serait pour l'instant superflu d'évoquer...
I haven't read the first book of this couplet (14 days), and didn't really need to to enjoy this high-spirted, hysterical romp around the island of Cyprus.

A lot of that has to do with the serial nature of his writings, Adams never really ended his books and stories, and when he ...
Very typically Douglas Adams and pretty much alike the HHGTTG. However, I had forgotten how funny and etremely original Adams is. At first, I found this first Gently story hard to get involved into, but after a while it got greatly intriguing. Good characters and véry funny.
Probably best to already be a Douglas Adams fan before trying this one. You have to appreciate his absurdity and accept that much of the story won't make sense in the traditional way of a novel. Parts of this are pretty darned hilarious, and the characters are memorable.
