This series is PHENOMENAL! Not for light readers, it's one that pays off in the end. Douglas Adams weaves a story like NONE I've ever read. He can start a thread in a story, and catch it back up to tie it up neatly four books later, and have used every word until that point to help tie it up which creating new threads in those same words that he'll tie up in other books the same neat and mind blowing way.
It's funny, explaining the book is a lot like reading it... nonsense that makes sense.

Loved it!
I thought that this book was better than the first one. I definitely had more chuckles in it. I loved the crazy fun that goes on even though sometimes I feel like there's no real point. An overall good read.

I gave this book five stars. Just kidding! Check this out! If you take Spaceballs, Monsters versus Aliens, Player Piano, and Catch 22, throw them into a blender and purée, you might just end up with this book. This wacky look at intergalactic space travel, zany situations, and preposterous characters permeates the ephemeral, volatile fabric of this convoluted, sometimes witty, often disjointed fabrication. Still its mostly harmless. Like the guy who fell asleep in class and was prodded by his neighbor with the answer to the teachers question about transendentalism; who jumped up and yelled 42; youll discover the answer to life, the universe and everything.
