Read First Before Buy Mostly Harmless Douglas Adams
Yes, the ending is rather grim. However, all I could do was smile and think about how wrong it felt... but in a good way. There was a huge sense of irony that I felt a little silly at not seeing a mile away. Also, every loose end I can think of has been tied off.
This story isn't my favorite of the trilogy, but it is the one with, in my opinion, the best ending. I read a lot of books, and no ending has ever stayed in my head so well. Plus, if you're a Ford fan like I am, there's a lot of him in this book. I'm eager to hear the radio dramatization of it.
While this last book in the Hitchhiker's series doesn't exactly end on a high note, I loved it. It seemed as though Douglas Adams was getting a little tired of the series and finished it, but even he said he wasn't satisfied with the ending and would rewrite it... and there was the possibility of a sixth book in the trilogy. I would have loved that, but I'm just as happy with this ending. No book I've ever read, as I've said, has an ending that I can remember so well.
I have read and enjoyed David Sedaris "Me Talk Pretty One Day", which is hysterical and some of his other collections (which are ok). I also enjoyed "The Girls guide to Hunting and Fishing", some of Weiner's books. Being a 40-something yr young woman, I am looking for a feel-good, dry humor read.
BalasHapusA friend of mine told me to search this on Google and the calculator came up with the answer 42. How did scientists calculate this?

BalasHapusHow many books are in the series in total? Isn't there spin-offs and other stuff? I just want a list of all the books, please.
BalasHapusis it just the noise or is there more to it?
