Summary: Continuing a great story
Review: There is probably very little praise that I can give Douglas Adams for this book that has not already been said. He creates characters that, despite their planet of origin or the fact that they often have extra arms or heads, are very easy for the reader identify with. (In fact, I believe one of my college roommates was very closely related to Marvin the paranoid android, but I digress...) This is a spectacular book in a spectacular series. I suggest that you read them all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DO'NT PASS THE HITCHHIKER BY. PICK IT UP!
Review: I read "The Hitchhiker..."during one of the most trying times in my life and it enabled me to laugh ,and I mean a good belly-type of laugh,even though my world was falling apart. The fact that this is exactly what happens in the beginning of the story was probably why I could relate to it.

My favourite passages were the ones describing: 1. the depressed robot Marvin 2. the Vogon poetry (it's a killer) If you havént read it already,please do!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best of the series!!!!
Review: If you have read The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, you will love this one! The hitchhikers travel the galaxy in search for a place to eat. The nearest place was Milliways, The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe. The only promblem is, when they leave they steal the stuntman, Hotblack Desiato's side ship. In the ship they travel 2,000 years back in time and then teleport at the last second, splitting the hitchhikers apart. Now Ford and Arthur are on prehistoric Earth, where they find the shocking truth about the earth's history....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent reading- good for anyone with a functioning brain
Review: I love Adams' writing for many reasons, the foremost of which is his utter disregard for rational thought and associated intellectual encumberings. Hilarity is synonymous with spontaneity, in my opinion, and Adams takes the cake. His attention to detail, too, gets my attention and keeps it. Never a dull moment in the Hitchhikers' trilogy

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not as good as the first
Review: This book was good but not as good as the first. After Zaphod got out of the soul destroyer it was all downhill from there

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty bloody funny
Review: This book was hilarious. I had to read it for a book report and I wasn't disappointed at all. The book Life, The Universe, and Everything was better, though. I love the increasingly innacuratly name hitch hiker's trilogy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great!!!
Review: Maybe not as absolutly hilarious as the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, but what with tea being made at a most inconvienient moment, flying office blocks, and pink furry insects, it is still a marvelous read

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Review: You've Already Done 6 Impossible Things Today... Why not top it off with breakfast at.. MILLIWAYS! THE RESTAURANT AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE!! At least you find out the Question to the Ultimate Answer... Six by Nine...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Douglas Adams rocks!!!!
Review: I've only read the first 2 books in the series so far and I'm getting the next two later today. I think "The Restaurant..." is awesome. I still burst out laughing at some of the scenes, no matter how often I read them. Douglas Adams is brilliant. He's the kinda person I'd like to hang out with on a daily basis - my best friends are the ones that can make me laugh. Marvin is my favorite character in the book - one of the best lines was when Ford (?) asked 'What's up?' and Marvin replied 'I don't know. I've never been there.' There is not much I can say except that you should definitely read this book. Douglas has this wry wit that just pierces through the imagination and brings everything to life, however subtle. I think he is, at the very least, a genius when it comes to the written word and understanding the human (and alien) condition. Every character is concrete and entertaining - you can read a scene and fully accept what the character is saying because you know the character's nature so well. You actually get under the skin of these people and I think that the ability to draw a person into a story is one of the greatest gifts a writer can possess. I look forward to reading more of Adams' books. This is a man with unparalleled talent. -Trish-

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good as the first one
Review: Douglas Adams does it again! Continuing right on from the first novel, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe is still pure comic genius. Ever wonder what the Big Crunch will be like? Or what a cow thinks about being eaten? All these questions and more are answered in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. And let's not forget poor old Marvin. Marvin is older that the universe itself by the end of the novel! This novel has a lot of comic twists and turns, and will leave your sides hurting by the end. A must read for anyone interested in Adams, sci-fi, or British humor
