The fifth (and final) book in Douglas Adam's Hitch-hikers Guide 'trilogy', this is a book that I have read many feel should never have been written.

This is a lot more serious than the previous novels, with the overall tone a lot darker than before: for example (and very early on) Arthur Dent is back to wandering the universe, after having the love of his life whisked away from him while traveling through Hyperspace while, in an alternate reality, Tricia ('Trillian') McMillan regrets not going off with Zaphod Beeblebrox. I have to say, as well, the novel also ends on rather a down-beat note!

Fun! A good way to finish this ridiculous series. Less plot focused and more good gags. Would recommend to finish the series if you’ve gotten stuck somewhere between book 2 and 4!
