DESCRIPTION:
stellar drollery The very first paragraphs of this volume had me in stitches, but my tittilating state lasted only from chapters 1 to 6, and then I gasped in astonishment at how evanescent the jocularity of this book turned out. I trudged on til chapter 22, hankering for yet more batty occurrences, yet all that followed after the frogfighters bombing of the Guide tower lacked the sparkle of the beginning of the story.

The book of course is hilarious. If you have never read the series, read it in book form first. The audiobook is a great way to experience it again when gardening or jogging, the type of activity that does not require concentration.. Not perfect, but more than good enough to enjoy :) B. Alcat This book should be read after the "The hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", due to the fact that "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" starts where the previously mentioned book ends.

It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability--and desperately in search of a place to eat.Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!"What's such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams' sardonically silly eyes."--Detroit Free Press.
