Rating: Summary: Not as good as the others Review: "Life, the Universe and Everything" is the third book in the "Hitchhiker" series. It's funny, but not as funny as the other books. It actually does get a little confusing at some points, and I was expecting a bit more in this. But anyway, it's an average novel in the series an has some pretty good laughs throughout.
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: He's just this guy. You know? Review: All in all I enjoyed this book. Like Adams other works it's as off-the-wall and funny as anything else. Indeed, the core of Adams works are the hilarious little asides that seemingly go nowhere and yet find there way into an integral part of the story in later chapters. If anything the only reason I gave this four stars instead of five was that this novel had a plot.
Rating: Summary: This book was disapointing! Review: I thought this one fell seriously short of the othes. Very sad considering the other books that Douglas has written
Rating: Summary: What happened? The first two where so good. Review: After two triumphantly funny book, Adams goes insane and writes this terribly dull and UNFUNNY book. I'm not sure if it even deserves 2 stars. The gags fall flat, and the book is every bit as silly as the first two, but they were also funny. Don't bother with this one.
Rating: Summary: More overhyped, absurd, shtick thats not all that funny. Review: I wish I could have enjoyed the "Hitchhiker" books more than I did. There was definitly some funny moments in the three books, but overall I found the humor to be to absurd and abstract to be taken as funny.If you like "Monty Python" material then this book and the first two may be for you. If your like me and you only find "Monty Python" to be moderatly funny, then these books may be something to skip. In summary: I found this third book of the "Hitchhiker" adventures to be like the first two installments - sometimes funny and interesting, but mostly dull and abstract shtick that simply isn't my style. These books aren't bad, they just aren't all that good either. The second book in the series - "Resturaunt" - was the best.
Rating: Summary: An outstanding edition to a wonderful series. Review: When I first read this book, I was 12 and in the 6th grade. I understood everything, and have read it over and over again ever since then. When read with the other books in the series, it almost creates a biblical feel, where each book explores different theories of life, such as: Does God exist? Can God prove he doesn't exist? What is God's final message? and many other such questions. This book and series is so well written, that you get the feel that it could go on forever.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS TO GRACE THIS PLANET ! Review: It is so funny that you should not read this book in 1 day because if you do next thing you'll find yourself in a padded room in a white jacket
Rating: Summary: Wow! Review: Douglas Adams' out-of-this-world characters and mind-blowing plot twists make this one of the most hilariously side-splitting sci-fi novels I've read.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: The third book in the trilogy is still full of Adams's crazy, hilarious ideas. It answers questions asked in the previous books, such as "What is the meaning of life?" Ford, Arthur, Zaphod, and the others are are some of the best characters created.
