This was my favourite book in the series - clever and hilarious, of course, but also fascinating on philosophical and scientific levels. Parallel universes and infinite Earths - well there were at the start of the novel anyway. One thing I did notice after five books, however, is the lack of charact...

Elles recommencèrent deux fois le même cirque, jusqu'à ce que Tricia fût certaine que tout ce qui pouvait humainement être clair était aussi clair qu'il soit humainement possible de l'être.Elle commençait vraiment à être piquée. Elle avait même imaginé qu'un oiseau de Central Park l'avait scrutée av...

This was far more enjoyable than the previous volume in the series. Appropriate pace, and the hopping around to different POVs wasn't nearly as confusing as it has been.

I’m not really sure about this book. At first I was going to suggest that it didn’t have any point but then again this is a part of the Hitchhiker’s Guide series, which basically means that the books aren’t going to have a plot, or a point. Well, I guess the lack of a plot, and a point, is a point i...

I was dreading this one -- typically, like X-Men: The Last Stand, or The Highlander sequels, I prefer to pretend this doesn't exist. It's the only one of the series that I haven't bought my son, and I don't plan on changing that. Which doesn't mean I couldn't be won over -- after 4 or 5 tries, Dirk ...

This is the last book in the Hitchhiker Trilogy pentalogy, and it was supposed to be a bad book, according to several reviews that I read. It was even described as depressing, not worth the read and that one would be better off by reading So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish as the final installment...

Wieder geht es kreuz und quer durch Raum, Zeit und Universum. Voller Witz und Einfallsreichtum erzählt Adams von den Abenteuern seiner Helden. Anlass zu Turbulenzen gibt es genug. Und ganz nebenbei zeigt das Gefüge des gesamten Universums besorgniserregende Risse... (Heyne) Da singt man Lobeshymne...

Am I the only one who felt the series went donwhill in funny and uphill in dry sarcasm since the second installment?

the 3.93 marks this as least appreciated Hitchhiker's book, but overall, after a fairly careful re-read, I think it's fair to say the overall quality of the works isn't really changing that much from work to work, and the idea that there's a sort of meta-novel at work-- a UK novel about early parent...

The last book didn't entertain me. Even though it was very different from the other books in the series, it just wasn't interesting. The characters ended up annoying me and I just wanted to get it over with.
