Summary: The best of the series ...
Review: I liked this book more than any other in this amazing series. Somewhere around page 30 (I rememeber this even though I read this book 18 years ago) if you aren't hysterical with laughter, you need to see a doctor.

Summary: Whacked-Out Nonsense
Review: The second book in the trilogy is a hilarious, mind-boggling, freak-out. The only problem would (and I didn't have to deal with this) is it is utterly incomprehensible to people who never read book one. Thankfully all I need to read is So Long, And Thnaks For All The Fish

Douglass Adams is a genius!

Summary: a must read
Review: dont be discouraged, 3 is my lucky number, so it is the best i can give it. the beggining was really funny but then the jokes dwindled. sometimes it was hard to follow but was always interesting and one of the best books i ever read. i didnt read the first one but it didn't matter, reading the back was enough. a must read!!!!!

Summary: A classic fictional piece to enhance the reading experience
Review: "TheRestaraunt at the End of the Universe" by Douglas Adams is interestingly told. The book is about a band of intergalactic time-space travelers. They are aboard a beautiful space ship called the Heart of Gold. The story goes along as they travel through the universe. They encounter many different characters, settings and plots. The four main characters are Arthur and Trillian, Earthlings, Ford Prefect an alien who lived on Earth, and Zaphod Beeblebrox, the former head of the Galaxy. The four travel through the universe seeing amazing sites and unwittlingly solving the ultimate question: "What is the meaning of life the universe and everything."

This is an enjoyable book which displays many creative writing techniques that are well-organized to tell a seedy plot which ends up complete and whole. This book is very interesting . The book is mostly written with words that would not make sense alone but together the words come together and are very expressive and poetic. At first glance the words are jumbled together in an uncommon manner, but after being processed end up fluent and unified. Paraghraphs need to be examined closely to connect all conotations and to see the intricate imagery used. Each story is told with the utmost respect for the reader to discern the story. The story tells a clasic moral and is a book to be read for the ages.

Summary: worst then the first
Review: If you read the first book in this series and really liked it then you should definitly get this book, otherwise don't get it. I didn't like this book very much because the charachters are not well developed at all and the only good quality that the book has is humor, and it's lacking in that. It's not suspensful, you don't get very involved in the story, and as I said, only get it if you REALLY liked the first book.

Summary: Ever funnier than the first.
Review: restaurant at the end of the universe is a rare event in literature, or most art for that matter. It is the sequel that surpasses the original. I read Hitchhiker's in fifth grade and I find it hilarious even today. However, Restaurant is even funnier than the first. If you have read Hitchhiker's and maybe didn't find it very enjoyable, I implore you to read its sequel. It will not let you down.

Summary: Subtle Cruel Practical Jokes Do The Trick.
Review: The little practicle jokes that are pulled are wonderful. I first read this book in the 80s. I'm an executive in my mid thirties and loved it so much I ordered his book Mostly Harmless.

If you enjoy reading subtle practical jokes being pulled on millions of characters at a time, this book is for you.

Summary: Dining at Milliways
Review: I first read this book when I was twelve years old. I have now reread it again, seven years later, and I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. A worthy sequel to the hysterical, eccentric, and ingenius "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". How does Adams come up with this stuff? The man is brilliant. Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of my favorite characters of all time...so cool, so suave, so hip he has difficulty seeing over his pelvis... And with the ever-confused Arthur Dent, his friend Ford Prefect from Betelgeuse, Trillian (the only other native earth being besides Arthur who escaped from the demise of the earth), and Marvin the paranoid android; this is an insane adventure you shouldn't pass up.

Summary: Hilarious, odd and interesting to the last.
Review: The Restaurant at the end of the Universe is the second book in the Popular HitchHiker's Guide Series. Though not as funny or interesting as the HitchHiker's Guide this is a book you will wan't to read more than once.

Summary: THIS BOOK WAS THE BOMB !!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book was a total page turner. Douglas Adams gave a comical view of EVERYTHING ! He brought back those great charectors again and when those fellows get in a life or death situation, like when there diving in to the sun, that's when the laughter comes out. So will Zaphod ever see Arthur and Ford again ? Will the Earth's history tottaly change ? Will the whole gang meet up again? Find out in " Life, the Universe, and Everything. "
