Rating: Summary: Great sequel - lots of laughs Review: This book is one of the funniest books I ever read. When I first read Hitchhiker's guide, I didn't think it could be topped. I was wrong. Lots of laughs, and a good story to boot.
Rating: Summary: Don't Panic Review: Those are the words indented onto the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The imense book would make anyone panic. It's so big that it's a PADD like device. No Paper.The Restuarant at the End of the Universe is the second book in the inacuratly named Hitchhiker's Trilogy. It continues the quest of Aurthur Dent and his companions as they try to find the one man that controls everything. They eat at a restaurant where the food wants to be eaten and says so. Also they go to a rock concert. (But not the way you think thay would go.) This is a good book. I give TRATEOTU *Downs five Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters* FIVE *Burp* STARS!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: The funniest book I've ever read! Review: "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" is the second book in the "Hitchhiker" series, and is my favorite. It's so funny! If you're ready to buy "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"... get this one too! It continues the adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, and Marvin. Well, once again, it's the funniest book I've ever read and I hope that you think the same.
Rating: Summary: Take me to the Restaraunt at the end of the Universe! Review: I'll got to the restaraunt any time. This is the second book in the series, and able to keep up the hilarious comedy. I really liked this one. I hope that anyone who liked Hitchhikers Guide would read it. It's awesome!
Rating: Summary: Hilarious Review: Brilliant. Witty. Biting. Absolutely Hilarious. The Hitchhiker series is not to be missed; they are the funniest collection of books ever written. I don't think I could decide which one in the series is best, as they're all great. I'm not much for fiction, but I couldn't put these books down. Buy them all!
Rating: Summary: Zarking Great! Review: In the beginning, The Hitchhiker's Giude to the Galaxy was written. This made a lot of people happy and is generally regarded as a good move. Some time later, it was followed up (by a sequel). This also made a few people ("The people...the things..." "The things are also people," hissed Ford. "The people...the...other people...") very pleased. I am among them. DNA is an excellent writer and this book is perfect alone, after its predecessor, or with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Brilliant satire, wonderful characters, and the depressed droning of our favourite Paranoid Android all contribute beautifully to a work of sheer unadultered weirdness. I'd reccomend reading HHGG first to all newcomers to the HHGG trilogy, but if you've already read the first in the series the best way to follow it up is by reading the second. Or by stopping for lunch at Milliways--The Restaurant at the End of the Universe! (But don't forget your towel!)
Rating: Summary: Yeah, Baby! Review: Great stuff. There are tons of cool little things going on... If you haven't read this one, look forward to learning about the Total Perspective Vortex, and why the one thing people should NEVER strive to have is a sense of perspective. Moreover, this book features a rock star who is spending a year dead for tax purposes. It's worth the money for that part alone. Also, Marvin is back, hapless as ever, which adds something to the experience of this book, although to call it a positive addition goes somewhat against the spirit of Marvin... whatever. It's still hysterical. The central plot of this story, to the extent that there is one, is Zaphod Beeblebrox's desperate attempts to totally avoid any adult responsibility, and to simply enjoy life. Again and again, he is thrust into circumstances that he himself set up, in sort of a previous incarnation (not exactly, but if you read the story you will see what I mean), and again and again his one goal is to flee his responsibilities and try to party harder than any sentient being has ever partied before. You could not possibly ask for a more hilarious anti-hero. I loved it. And, as usual, along the way Douglas Adams makes you think about a whole range of issues, from meat-eating, to the economic perils of putting all your eggs in one basket, to the inanity of making documentaries on disasters when the disaster is happening all around you. Seven thumbs up.
Rating: Summary: very funny Review: Not quite as good as The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, this sequal occurs directly after the events of the that book. And continues with the same inspired lunacy. A must read for anyone who loves SF, or who just wants to laugh.
Rating: Summary: you people are crazy! Review: It is very evident that people who don't have a clue what exactly real humor is gave this book more than three stars. This book is so terrible that I wouldn't even force Jesse Helms to read it in an attempt to torture him. If someone says that this book is good, then run because they're probably mentally unstable.
Rating: Summary: Watch the end of the universe as you dine........ Review: Yes, there is a resturant that you can dine at and watch the end of all we know, while at the same time, having a fabtastic dining experience! Hilarious book! Met Marvin the Paranoid Android. Witness the end of all time/space. Meet an intelligent speaking animal that presents itself to you as your main course and is insulted if you don't eat it! A fun, fun book!
