I really enjoy Douglas Adams' writing style. It flows neatly, it gives just the amount of description I need to know whats going on, and its bizarre in just the right way. 

I will, though, admit that I dont really understand exactly what goes on in this book. Or, its perfectly obvious but its also not, which was the case with the first one in this series too.

That said, I really enjoy them. Theyre fun, theyre enjoyable and theyre very entertaining, and once in a while pose some questions thatll be stuck with you for a while after youre done reading.

One note is that this book contains norse gods and the narrator does not know how to do a nordic sounding or even Norwegian accent as it is said that they have and as a Norwegian, I found that took away some of the joy from the otherwise great narration.
