Summary: 4 Stars - Qualified...
Review: I've had <u>Mostly Harmless</u> on my shelf for many years. I can't remember when I got it, nor could I remember reading it. A couple of weeks ago, I started with <u>Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"</u> and read through the series. <U>Mostly Harmless</u> ostensibly the 5th book in the trilogy (this <i>is</i> Douglas Adams, RIP).The book is fast paced...leading you to an ending that closes the series for good (although you could argue that there's certainly an opening after the <u>So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish</u> shenanigans. Anyway, if you've read the other four books in the trilogy, you'll enjoy this last one, until the very end, much like Mr. Adams' life.

Summary: For the love of Zarquon....
Review: This book was a decent read, but shy's in comparison to the first four of the series. The wacky zany and highly entertaining universe Adams created is somewhat unsettled by this book. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth for the dedicated fan. I am honestly lead to believe, after having read all of Adams' work, that another book was to follow this one. The issues of Fenchurch as well as there being two Trillian's in the end, plus the lack of Zaphod (with the Heart of Gold) just leaves the door open for a loop hole out of the disturbingly final tone to this book. A loophole I don't Adams was overlooking. While I can appreciate the ideas this book presented, I have to agree with some of the other reviewers here that the previous books filled you with a sort of hope that things would work out for poor and miserable Arthur Dent, as well as, finding it hard to believe that Ford Prefect couldn't find himself out of any difficult situation. While I don't know if I personally could ever get enough of the hitchhiker series, I'm indecisive as which book I would rather have as a finale......
