The Earth is destroyed and Ford escapes just in time with his friend Arthur. They encounter many kinds of adventures and life-threatening situations. Arthur also along the way learns more about the Universe and Earth.
From the very first page I was captivated by the author's humour and satire and continued to be so until the end of the book. All the characters were very interesting and quirky. We have, for example, Ford who does not understand sarcasm which makes his interactions with Arthur very enjoyable. There were also some things that were so ridiculously funny that I laughed out loud and at the same time it makes one think about life.
Definitely a nice book which is also easy to read, even for readers who normally don't read science fiction.

It’s worse than Alice in Wonderland…
Apart from the disrespectful diminution of divinity (fancy words to say it was very disrespectful to God) it STARTS with the complete annihilation of the planet???? Like, what??
Such utter nonsense that confuses and complicates. It makes all the sense and none of it at the same time. It was the most chaotic thing I’ve read in a while.
And somehow, it was utterly polite, quick witted and brimming with charm.
Anyway - whirlwind.
Moderate: Religious bigotry and Violence
