Restaurant at the End of the Universe By Douglas Adams

Where the floor show is doomsday and Arthur and Ford dine with Zaphod Beeblebrox, well-appendaged, ex head honcho of the Universe, and Trillian, his human girlfriend. The four friends begin their quest for answers to some of the most confounding questions challenging mankind: When will they finish eating? What is the question to the ultimate answer? (which happens to be 42).

    This book has become very confusing. It was 9 at night when I was reading, and I was somewhat famished. It seemed hard to track what was going on. A few random characters just popped up and people appeared random places. I think I am going to need to read the chapter over before I can meaningfully blog about it. Sorry everyone! What I can say is the book has gotten somewhat less funny but I have not gotten far in it so I can judge it to much.

    Yes I did say that right in my post.
    Anyway this book has become very exciting, the action thickened, the comedy pours off the page! It is leading up to a grand revealing of a character, The Man Who Controls the Universe! The gang of misfits are traveling through time and space trying to avoid his clutches, but will they be outrun!? Will Beeblebrox finally be caught!? the universe may never know... (Unless you read the book).

    Well sadly one of my favorite characters died for now. He went valiantly and comedically saving his friends. His sacrifice saved races from talking their mouths off, brought a paradise to the world, and most likely killed a few innocent bystanders. After his descent into the fiery outer layer of a sun he changed the world for the better. He shall truly be a incredibly depressed war hero. (any who have read this book do not give away the character I am talking about just for the sake of showing you know).

    This book sounds really good, but did you still find it to be confusing?

    It's not nearly as confusing. Adams has slowed down a bit in his explanation and started really letting you get to know the scene. This makes it much easier to picture the place in my head. WHich makes it much less confusing.
