อ่านละขำตั้งแต่ต้นจนจบ มันเป็นหนังสือที่อ่านแล้วรู้สึกถึงกลิ่นอายหนังอวกาศยุคเก่า เพราะมันก็เป็นหนังสือเก่าจริง ๆ แต่มุกตลกในนั้นก็ยังทันสมัย มีมุกจิกกัดแสบ ๆ คัน ๆ เวลามนุษย์ต่างดาวมันแซะอารยธรรมมนุษย์โลก ละชอบที่เอาไอเดียคำถามปรัชญามารวมกับเรื่องเทคโนโลยีหรือการพัฒนาแบบล้ำยุคล้ำสมัย เป็นส่วนผสมที่ออกมาละตลกมากกกก combination ระหว่าง มนุษย์โลก + มนุษย์ต่างดาวที่เป็นนักโบกละหลงทางในโลก 15 ปี + เพื่อนเก่าที่มีสองหัว + หุ่นยนต์ที่เป็นซึมเศร้า โคตรรั่ว ไอ้บ้า เหมือนคนเขียนดูดม้าเพราะรีบส่งต้นฉบับ
อ่านแบบแปลไทยละรู้สึกอยากไหว้คนแปล แต่ละคำที่พี่แกต้องแปลคือ ถ้าให้กุแปล หัวระเบิดก่อนพอดี ต้นฉบับเขาก็เล่นคำแบบใหญ่โตมโหฬารในแบบของเขา พอแปลไทยก็ต้องให้อิงตามต้นฉบับ แต่ก็ต้องฮา แล้วต้องอ่านเป็นไทยให้เข้าใจอีก งานอย่างหนัก แต่ออกมาละตลกชิบหาย คือถอดสมองอ่านเลยเพราะไม่รู้ว่ากุต้องคิดไรละ

These books are not plot driven, and this is intentional. But for me is hard not to consider this as a negative.
First book and second book don't suffer from this problem, characters are strong, there is an overarching thread of inquiry about what is going on in the universe, all very enjoyable to follow.
Book three was ok.
The fourth books stands on its own. The story finally got closer to one character, and is mostly linear, yet an unsatisfactory explanation is given for the lack of continuance from the previous book's events.
The main plot is not at all original, yet it's still worth reading because Adam's wrote it. However there are original bits here and there in the classic style of Douglas Adams. I loved that the author addressed the the reader directly. Probably my favourite book of the collection. It was very interesting reading the foreward explaining the situation in which was written, makes it more valuable to me.
In the fifth book the cozy situation produced from the previous book's plot is abruptly, and again unsatisfactorily, truncated.
The story starts with a character that is only mentioned only in passing in the previous book. This last book uses the narrative tool of multiple realities, which is ok in itself I guess, bit I didn't like.
The whole plot is completely unnecessary. Really liked the ending though, but the premise of jumbled up realities and plural sector doesn't hold.
The book is sprinkled by some genius standalone scenes that sometimes return, even if only mentioned. Overall a worth read.

Would have been a 5 star but I didn’t find the last book that interesting, it had quite a boring ending. Overall a really good set of novels I think everyone should read.

First couple of books definitely deserve their places as some of science fiction’s best, they are lots of fun and overflowing with zany creativity. It definitely loses some of that charm in the last two books, but not enough for me to regret reading them.
My all-time favourite book series. Douglas Adams has the most unique and comical command of the English language, which is paired very nicely with a completely bonkers plot filled with zany characters and locations. This is the closest thing I have to a religious text.
