The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation.
They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vicepresident of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.
How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it!

Most sequels Are not very good, but this one was, it stayed good for three books. At least two and a half.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of adventure and comedy is rarely made without either not being funny, or not feeling like a real adventure, but this one did.
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if the ending of the series is ended well and wrapped-up? Or is it a cliff hanger ending?
ReplyDeleteit is not the last book, there are two after it.
ReplyDeleteI just picked up this book again after abandoning it last year, it seems good, the planet Krikkit sounds very scary, wich is odd for a Douglas Adams book, and it looks like it will have a better plot, whic will make it more interesting than a series of gags.
