laelski 's review for:
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
by Douglas Adams
5 stars for diction, comedic timing, and endlessly entertaining paragraph-long sentence structure. It was a great reading experience.
However, the resolution of the plot only takes like 5 pages, and hardly answers any questions. Felt too deus-ex-machina-esque. It sort of read like he was writing an awesome book about gods walking the earth (it reminded me of American Gods at some points, which is one of my favorite books), but then DA apparently ran out of time and was told to wrap it up, the publisher's waiting. the first 90% of the book was fantastic, and the last 10% was a crappy resolution where the plot fell off a cliff.
5 stars for most of the book minus 1.5 stars for bad ending = 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4)
