“Life, the Universe and Everything” By Douglas Adams Review

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads—so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the galaxy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.

To be fully honest after reading this book I can honestly admit that I don’t understand the hype with this series. In my opinion it’s okay and nothing more than that. 

The plot in this book was weaker than the previous book, and somehow I found the majority of this book edging on the side with boredom. Of course it had some good moments here and there but nothing more than that. 

The writing style here were okay. I wish it could have been better because it would have made this book and the entire plot better. 

The characters here, I became bored of them pretty quickly which I don’t know why. It felt like the character development didn’t happen and that the characters were just as the same as they were in the first book. 

In a way this book felt very confusing and I found myself zoning out while reading this book and starting to think about other things than this book.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
