Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle through space powered by pure improbability – and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur’s motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a long-time friend and contributor to the The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMilan, a fellow Earth refuge who’s gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, who suffers nothing and no one gladly.
I gotta say that this book so far is the best book in the The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series.
Somehow this book takes the world and plot from the first book and builds onto it. Because of this we get to see more of the world in this series and we get a better plot in this book. Which I really came to like much more this book than the first book.
The plot here was very good. Its very unique and its very interesting to read. There was something really intriguing and entertaining about this book. Which really caught my attention and kept me reading to the end.
The characters in this book gets better than they were in the first book. It might be a character development or me taking the time to actually like them.
However this book has the same problem as the first book had. Which is that the humour was very weak and it didn’t fall in with me.
I Give This Book 4 / 5
