Summary: LAUGH OUT LOUD HILARIOUS
Review: This is the book that introduced me to Douglas Adams and his wacky sense of humor. At first I had no idea what was going on the book, but it was a thin book so I decided to keep reading. The one part that really makes this book memorable--and worth reading--is the end. There are few books that can make me laugh out loud. This is one of them.

Summary: Funniest Book I've Ever Read
Review: As good as The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is, this book is better. It's longer, more unpredictable, even weirder, and certainly funnier. I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud during the course of reading this book. It is quite simply the funniest book I have EVER read. In this book such improbable (not to mention hilarous) situations as a computer trying to make tea, the disclosure of the identity of the man who rules the universe (he lives in a shack), a restaurant where you are served just as the universe is about to end, and more pop up. Read this book, it's a riot. When you read the first book in the series you'll like it and want more, and The Restaurant At The End of the Universe will satisfy your cravings... and then some. Unless, of course, you forget to bring your towel.

Summary: A hilarious and bizzare novel
Review: This book was outstanding. Not only did it include a strange setting and an ever-changing plot, but it also incorporated many science-fictional aspects that could possibly one day be true. It was very entertaining and I especially enjoyed the computer technology of the future that Adams writes. In it, all machines and computers have their own personalities and strange quirks about them. The computers are not the only strange things though, with characters such as Zaphod Beeblebrox, Ford Prefect, and Arthur Dent, there is never a dull moment in the novel.

Summary: Is it time to eat yet?
Review: Have you ever wondered about the universe? Like really how big it really it, how was it made, is there life out there, or even why life exists? What better then to ask the king of the universe himself "Douglas Adams" Douglas Adams writes a story about these weird, exotic, and unpredictable events. This story is also a second edition to the trilogy. This story begins with the ending of the last book Douglas wrote called "Hitchhikers guide to the Universe." But the exciting adventure begins when big bad battle ships full of life threatening Vogon's approach a small starship and fleet. On that small ship was Authur Dent, a human man who had escaped Earth, seconds before the Vogon fleet had destroyed it (thanks to his good old friend Ford Prefect). He's your average type of man only with lot worse of luck. Ford Prefect a kind of a strange character with an awful lot of humor. Zaphod Beeblebrox, which is a two, headed, ex-president of the universe, and whose luck is not very well also. Judging on his characteristics and personality, you might say or excuse me he would say he's a "Hip Cat", Martin the robotic genius dictionary, and many more. The adventure goes on to tell how Zaphod and his friends try to foresee his purpose in life and to try to find his future. With this in mind, he and his interesting crew time travel throw out the book and are also looking for a quick bite to eat scene they have not eating in a few oh say.... a couple million years. Events such as almost near death experiences every time they turn their backs due to someone trying to stop the Zaphod and his friend for finding the truth of life. At the end of the book they find that life goes by to fast and no time to waste. They also see the beginning of a new life. I do not to blow the whole story for you if I hadn't already. I do say if you like a story dealing with twisted ties, exotic characters, and the unpredictable to happen. Give this story a try. I think you might like it.

Summary: Sci Fi Comedy
Review: A good book for anyone who likes a few laughs and a sarcastic twisted way of looking at the universe. There isn't too much character development and quite frankly it doesn't need it. The imagery is pretty expresive and very helpful when trying to visualize weird locations and off the wall characters.

Summary: drop in for a bite
Review: The second in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Trilogy happens to be my least favorite. However, I give it three stars because it is Douglas Adams. Although his work is often somewhat overrated, he does happen to have a great sense of humor. The greatest weakness of the book, as with the first, is the lack of a coherent plot. The book relies almost entirely on its wackiness to keep the reader's attention. There is a plot element from the first book that is carried on and resolved, but it ends unsatisfactorily and anticlimactically as well. While the Restaurant idea is original and entertaining, it really has little to do with the story, which makes the title misleading. Besides, it seems most of the focus in this book is on Zaphod, whom I find extremely annoying (which I suppose is exactly how Doug wanted me to find him). The ending of the book is pretty cool, setting up a potentially fascinating plot for Ford and Arthur in the next book. However, the situation is resolved disappointingly early in the next novel. Go ahead, read it, it's great fun, but I don't feel it's the greatest the series has to offer. However, seeing as how this is only a series in the loosest sense, it is not of extreme importance. Unless you're like me and simply have to read every novel rumored to be connected with a series, you can probably skip this one without losing too much sleep.

Summary: A burst of comedic genius
Review: Well haven't I said enough about the first one ? No, nope definitely not. The first time ever I have commented on a trilogy and talked about the sequel to the first one, its worth it. The travels continue with Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian and Marvin ending up at the "Restaraunt at the End of the Universe", literally that, a restaraunt where people from all over creation can observe the destruction of the entire Universe in comfort and dine throughout while listening to the compere Max Quardlepleen who makes jokes in bad taste and basically just has some fun, the meal itself being amazingly expensive because the restaraunt is held in a time bubble, investing a single penny in the distant past in a bank account will of course pay for it after extremely long term interest is calculated. There are of course many strange people here too such as followers of the second coming of the great prophet Zarquon who is amazingly late but who through some sort of miracle appears in the last few seconds only to vanish in a puff of smoke, some people from Sirius B the dog star making appropriate barking noises and others who feel quite depressed after Max notes : "And there we see the Solar system of Gastromil boiling away into the ultra violet, its too late to worry about whether you've left the gas on now". This is the best of the series no doubt about it, the burst of genius started in the first book blooms in this one. Just a taste of what can be found in this superb comedy.

Summary: A letter to the author about my likes and dislikes.
Review: This is a review in the form of a letter to the author, Douglas Adams. It includes my likes and dislikes about this hysterical book. Mr. Douglas Adams Dear, Douglas Adams I am writing this letter to inform you how much I enjoy The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books. I remember when I was first introduced to your books; I was on a boring trip to Las Vegas, and I remember it making my trip a lot more exciting. Out of all the books in the series The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is my favorite. I have read all the books in the series, and I can't get enough of the hysterical topics and everyday situations, the pointless and off the wall technology, and the weird adventures the characters get into. The one thing I really enjoy about this book is the creativity and diversity of the characters. My favorite characters are: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two headed ex-president of the galaxy, Arthur Dent, the last male human in the universe, and Trillian, the depressed robot. However there are so many great characters in this book, and I will continue to read your books whenever a new installment is published. I have suggested this book to all of my friends, because of these reason: hilarious plot, searching the universe for a bite to eat, the unbelievably created scenes, when they are attacked by the Vogon's, the lush language, the constantly changing story, and the very descriptive paragraphs. The one thing that impressed me the most is the way you can make a novel out of any situation. Thanks to your vast imagination and curiosity on how life is, my view on how things work have been dramatically changed for the better. Sincerely, Steven Thesman
