The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
by Douglas Adams, 166 pgs, hardcover
Amazon site
Overall Grade: B
This series is starting to get more amusing as it goes along. This one actually got a couple of guffaws out of me. Though still predicated on sheer ridiculousness, 'Restaurant' some how seems to move faster, perhaps relying on the character base already created in 'Hitchhiker's Guide'. In short, the same old crew, Zaphod, Trillian, Ford & Arthur pick up where they left off, eating at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where they then end up stealing/stowing-away on somebody's ship & getting transported to completely different locations in a last ditch effort to save themselves. Ironic and humorous passages on the origins of human life and the President of the Universe ensue.
