I think this was my favorite of the series. I listened to the second half of the series and it was much more enjoyable to listen to, things do drone on a bit to listening to it while doing other things was the best way I found to enjoy it.

Of the books this one felt like it had the most plot, and I like how the book ended.

I love The Hichhiker Guide to the Galaxy series, and considering everything together, this book too.
The ending is both brilliant and disappointing at the same time, a double status pretty hard to achieve. It was better than the last book, but not really on the same level of the first ones - the comedy killed me in some parts, though.
The bad is, there are so many loose ends left untied with this final book, and so many others just hurriedly closed off. It's really too bad it went this way, because it's one of the funniest series ever written.
Considering everything together, I can say I really enjoyed reading it, however it may have ended, the comedy is great.
