There was good charm and absurdity and fun in this one, as in the others. But it's also longer than the others with not much improvement and the ending was.... well, it wasn't what I would expect to tie off a series of this vibe. I thought it gained back some of the charm a couple of the middle books lost and it seemed a little bit more aware of how convoluted things were actually getting in terms of time travel and alternate universes and all. Not that it fixed the problem, it just lampshaded a bit heavier. Ford Prefect was really in top form, and its for that reason that I rated this a little higher than some of the others even if I'm not totally satisfied with where things eventually ended up. At the very least, it was back to hijinks and I think that really counts for something.

It was fine, but I've just about decided that Hitchhiker's Guide is a trilogy. Some good bits, but it's mostly more of the same, and missing the magic of the first couple books.
This feels a lot closer to the first one than the others: Faffing about in space.
For me this will be the end of the series (I know there are more but without Douglas Adams I’m not sure it will be the same) and I think it’s a really good ending to leave it at.

What a strange addition to a strange 5 part trilogy. I can't say I didn't enjoy it, but I truly think that reading this series is a once in a lifetime reading experience, these books are not for everyone but for the people they appeal to they love them.
A truly modern British classic, and if you have the patience for vibes only sci-fi with a lot of ridiculous, this is the series for you.
