Reviews

A rare five star- this witty, philosophical and uniquely creative read is one of the most stimulating sci Fi stories out there, with the extreme chaos and profound peace that only Douglas Adams can offer in his writing.

a fun + lighthearted read that i enjoyed but not enough to read 800-something pages of. got most of the way through restaurant at the end of the universe before i gave up but it just didn’t give me much reason to keep reading. love zaphod beeblebrox though he’s my bestie

When I finished this book, I stood still for a few seconds.

Then I clapped.

I clapped alone in my bedroom for a minute, because this book deserves all the applause it could get— no book has made me go through a jumble of emotions as uniquely as THGTTG, and Adams is a fu*king genius to have been able to write this story on paper.

Read the entire series, and I promise you: there’s nothing quite like it.
