This book has as much resemblance to the original Hitchhikers Trilogy as a nice cup of tea has to dregs of rotting leaves suctioned up from the depths of a swamp on a strange and tasteless planet. The idea is the same, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. All the characters are there, and the storyline also, but something in the telling just doesn't evoke a memory of Douglas Adams. It is a tale of Arthur and Ford, but the tone is different. If the reader is just interested in what happened to the characters, then this book may be for you. If you are looking for the heir apparent to Douglas Adams, you probably won't find him here.

This book is a novelization of a movie by the same title. The movie is an entertaining science fiction movie, the book doesn't really capture the same spirit. The book becomes overly dramatic in places, and this tended to pull me out of the story. The book also attempted to poorly answer questions that the movie left up to the viewer's imagination. If you have seen the movie, pass on the book.
