A review by sleepey
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

3.5

Kind of a mild experience honestly, more quiet chuckles than outright laughs. The story is structured in a weird way, almost like it was written backwards -- serious plot & action up-front, then a lot of increasingly unfocused wandering around (leaning on the "wacky random thing happens for no reason" button one too many times for my liking) until everyone finally splits up at the end. Couldn't quite hold my attention at times but, as usual, when Adams goes for a big idea he goes for it hard. The cruise ship part was a big standout for me, as was the robot fight in the office building.
