There was an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine...
Although you have to read the first book first (the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) in order to understand this one, that doesn't detract from this one not one iota. The Hitchhiker series (Restaurant is the second) is the best British humour (not humor) has to offer. His approach to science fiction merged with comedy is sheer genius and beats up Star Trek and 2001 like a pimp beats up his 'hos.
We continue the story where we left off, and Arthur, Ford, Zaphod and Trillian (oh yeah, and Marvin the android with chronic depression) as they meander their way to eat at the most fabulous restaurant, (same as title). So the Earth was just a supercomputer designed to find the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer of Life, the Universe and Everything? No problem...it makes living on Earth even more fun, and totally hilarious with Adams' Hitchhiker series. And, I'm quite sure it'll keep the philosophers quite well occupied for the next few centuries.
Just a fun book
I recently re-read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to make sure I remembered everything before seeing the movie, so I continued re-reading the series with this book.
It just keeps going where the last book left off, with the same great characters and crazy plotlines. It's just a fun quick great book.
If you read the first book and liked it, you probably don't need me to tell you that you should also read this one. If you didn't like the first one, you're not going to like this one any better. And if you haven't read the first one, then go read it already.
42 stars
Ever had any questions about life, the universe and everything?... The "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" trilogy is an amazing series of books that answers all those questions in an amusing, sarcastic, humourous and logical fashion. In "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe", the second novel of the series, you will discover about one of the most stunning organisation in the entire history of catering. You will also discover rather a lot about the whole of existence and yourself...
Though you were descended from cavemen?... Think again!
Have you ever heard of Disaster Area, the loudest Rock'n'Roll band ever?... No?!
And I suppose you have never seen the entire universe explode before your very eyes... It pains me to think down at your level.
Get this book and embark on a quest to discover the question to life, the universe and everything and to which the answer is forty two (42).
