Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Look what I found!
Review: I found a copy of this book in recording studio. I read the whole thing and was hooked. I was even more surprised to find out there were more of them. This book is funny, weird, and pretty much everything else combined. It has my highest recommendation.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ow this is so boring it hurts!
Review: I am a HUGE Douglas Adams fan I nearly found my self nawing at my own kneecap it was such a disapointment it goes on for so long on Arthur and Fenchurch's relationship but below that it had some jokes even Adams himself in the book said it is boring It has way way way to much cap where there could have been jokes.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Ok
Review: This book is the only ok HHGTG book that is not to funny it has some laughs but it is buryed in a blob of junk

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A real disappointment after the first three.
Review: This book is still good, but it was really disappointing after reading the first three. Adams is running low on ideas for this series. And where's Zaphod? He was one of the best characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Something Totally Different
Review: If you just finished the first three books in the trilogy and are looking for more of the zany humor that is their trademark, you should read Mostly Harmless. So Long and Thanks for All the Fish will only confuse you. It's an excellent book- my favorite in the trilogy- but it lacks the same intense weirdness such as in "Restraunt at the End of the Universe." It has a more terrestrial feel than the others. Which isn't to say that Adams has no sense of humor in this book- it's just a little less obvious. Read the scene in the pub, and you'll get it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Eh....
Review: "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" is a catchy title and worthy of the increasingly ill-named Trilogy of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but the contents failed to live up to its three predecessors. The reason, perhaps, lies in Adams' attempt to make Arthur Dent less of "a real jerk. An absolute kneebiter." Arthur Dent speaks in coherent sentences, gains a fractured but otherwise normal girlfriend, STAYS ON EARTH. We see Marvin only at the end, Ford infrequently and Zaphod not at all. The "zaniness" just isn't there. If you're sick at home with a cold and have nothing else to read but Volgon poetry, give it a try. Your insides won't strangle you, but you won't be cured as quickly, say, if you read "Life, the Universe, and Everything."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Still good, but not the best.
Review: I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the others in the 'trilogy.'It was often to ordinary with chapter after chapter focusing on the relationship between Arthur and Fenchurch, while this is still a good book I thought it was a bit of a let down after the brilliant 'Life the universe and everything.'

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fabulous! Brilliant! (and sweet, too)
Review: I've read the whole series, and though I never thought anything would beat the first one, I was wrong. So Long rounds out Arthur's character a bit, making him seem like less of a clod and more like a, well, man, though all of his delightful quirks are still in place. The absolute funniest scene of the series is in here (I won't spoil it, but you'll know it when you read it...think biscuits), and there's a love story to boot. In my opinion it was nice to see a little less of Zaphod and absolutely NONE of Trillion, who I couldn't stand, and though Arthur is clearly the focus Ford gets his fair share of limelight, though I do wish Marvin had been featured for more than the page or so he was on. All in all, this a great book, perhaps more slowly-paced than the rest, but it makes up for this in charm. I highly reccomend it (and I suggest anyone who likes this book skip Mostly Harmless).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best, in my oppinion, but...
Review: ...I liked it. Douglas Adams wrote a good book, however you don't get very far in any sort of plot. It kind of drags on and I didn't find it as funny as the first three.It didn't quite have the charm as the others did. I would sugest reading it to anyone who enjoyed any of Adams' other books because it is good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book a must read for all Hichicker Fans
Review: After remembering the charichters other books it was a realy injoyable experience. Over all a Great Book.
