The last part written by Adams and I'm content with the way it has ended. I liked this new female character and the way the lives of Arthur and Ford are going and, even though I didn't enjoy the first two parts of this series, I'm still glad I read it. This part was fun, around the same amount of fun as part 3 and 4 and I think I will buy part 6 just to see what a different writer does with the story. Overall an enjoyable and fun story with loads of weird things happening as always in the Hitchhikers Guide books.

Underwhelming.
I was in love with the series and this was by far my least favorite, so many loose ends, it felt rushed.
However, the ending was a perfect bow on the gift of self reflection Douglas Adams gave us.
