Finally finished, what a chore..
The first story in this omnibus is amazing, the second and following are okay. Fortunately the last story gets good again partway through. Would recommend the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, the other stories, not so much.

First two books are a 5, the third is a 4, and the fourth and fifth are a 3. Overall rating is a 4/5. A great series that starts off incredible and gets worse as it goes on, but even the weaker books are still kinda good.

It genuinely took me over a year to finish this one. (I did take an 11 month break in between, but still). While a lot of ideas in these books are very interesting, overall I felt myself barely interested.
The way it's written just wasn't for me, I guess?
The ended was a bit anti-climactic too. It's a nice read if you're into time-space travel, like to be very confused and don't mind a lack of excitement at times. The fact I finished this says a lot about how intruiging the interesting bits of these books are.

Very Fun
There’s a reason these books have become cult classics. The story is original and outrageous in a way that only Douglas Adams could manage.
