This is clearly a low point in this series. I adore the first book and even really enjoyed the next few, but this one is really rough and it seemed like Adams was grasping at straws to put another book into this universe. I know there is yet one more book after this one and I'll probably read it, but I'm hesitant. After this one has next to nothing for a plot, what else could he be writing about?

Not bad. Entertaining most of the way through, though I'm not sure how I feel about how the series ends.

Pure pandemonium. Sheer chaos. That is all I can say about this wonderful book that has no clear motive or purpose than to show the chaos and pandemonium that is present in the world and trying to make a narrative out of the chaos will just cause headaches.

Never in my life have I been so enraged by an ending before. You make it through all of 5 nonsensical books and you expect a creative ending, not a lazy one. It ends in the exact same scene as the beginning of the first book.
