The first part is, mostly harmless ,like the book describes our earth. But the rest are all overkill. Novelty, the waywardness, sci -fi comedy all seems to make the first part a very interesting read. But the same continues in the successive parts looses all the sheen: There is no novelty, since there is already a first part, how long can you stretch a novel with narration alone and no hint of storyline, and the sci-fi comedy slightly makes you turn a page but still not compensate the utter drab. With tremendous effort finished the 2nd part. But exhausted all my effort quotient in it and cudnt finish the 3rd. So pressed the pickup button in my online lending library site.

Most zany, self-aware sci-fi bang for your buck you’ll easily find. Definitely a few passages that don’t age well though

Personally would have been happier to finish on the third book rather than the fourth. Really enjoyed it to that point, just wanted the fourth over with.

This version of the HGTTG story (originally a radio series, but also a record album series, movie, video game, etc) is okay as separate books, but they don't hold up as a series; and some of the books are stronger than others.
