2.0

The beginning of the book was humorous and entertaining, but as it went on, I found myself bored and the jokes started to fall flat. I understand why this book is a founding modern sci-fi novel, with it's intricate details and descriptions. However, some events were too far fetched for me and lacked excitement. I will not be continuing the series because
I read online that in the last book of this series, everyone dies! The Earth blows up (again), so what was the point of the series/book? Why bother at all if you're just going to kill everyone with the same plot device that started this series?
