Less happens in this, the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's trilogy, than in the preceding three, but it is funny and clever in true Adams' style. The story includes a new Earth and a love interest for Arthur Dent (one that sends them soaring into the clouds). Three bowls gifted by the missing dolphin...
This might be my favorite book from the series because it's relatively happy but maintains a baseline of melancholy. And the image of Arthur and Fenchurch flying around is one that I think of a lot.
La pluie de type 17 était une sale pluie en rafales qui fouettait son pare-brise avec une telle violence qu'il aurait aussi bien pu faire l'économie de ses essuie-glaces.Il mit à l'épreuve sa théorie en les arrêtant momentanément mais il apparut que la visibilité réussissait à empirer encore.Malheur...
When I first read this book I loved it namely because I happened to be a hopeless romantic and our protagonist, Arthur Dent, finally gets a girlfriend. Well, finally is probably not the best way to describe it because Adams does raise the possibility that Arthur may have had a relationship with Tril...
Arthur had a swordfish steak and said it made him angry. He grabbed a passing waitress by the arm and berated her. "Why's this fish so bloody good?" he demanded, angrily. "Please excuse my friend," said Fenchurch to the startled waitress. "I think he's having a nice day at last." I've said it before...
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME! I shouldn't have started reading this all day longWell, I really liked the first hitchhiker’s guide, a very nice comedy indeed. Arthur Dent who doesn't want his house to be demolished by bulldozers, Vogons’ ship and their poems which nobody likes to hear and it works like a pen...
is there a tiny drop off in quality here? I sense it... so do some other reviewers. but goodreads as a whole only records a drop off from 4.18 to 4.02. hardly statistical collapse.Douglas Adams is by this book milking the franchise, and there are some great scenes, but the work as a whole isn't quit...
The fourth entry in the Hitchhiker's series is significantly different from the first three. Almost none of it takes place in space, it's missing major characters from the series like Zaphod and Trillian, and characters like Ford and Marvin have very little appearance time. The book is almost solely...
I’m not big into the vampire scene. Ok, I liked the Twilight books. Hell, I wanted my own Edward. I read all the books before I went and saw the first movie because I wanted to see what all the hype was. Since that series though, I haven’t been able to get into any type of vampire books. I read...
