this was a better read than the last book. Fenchurch is an interesting character. I do wonder where she was throughout the series. Arthur has more depth in this book compared to the one giving one-liner replies of confusion and in a state of crisis.

Ford's quirkiness that I liked from the first book is back here in this book!

I hope to finish this series before I have to finally return these books to the local library.

Given the reviews this book is getting, I can't work out if I'm having a serious sense of humour failure or if I'm the kid who points out the Emperor has no clothes.

In this book Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect return to an Earth which has mysteriously reappeared, having been destroyed in the first book in the series, Arthur meets his potential soul mate, and teaches her how to fly before the 3 of them start another round of adventures.

All this is fine, and if you like the 3 previous books in the series, you'll probably like the humour in previous books, you'll probably like this book too. It's just if you read 3 of the books in a row (or very quickly one after another), it'll feel a little "one notey" after a while.
