I didn't like this book as much as some of the others in the series, but I still enjoyed it. I really liked the bit that dealt with Elvis, and I liked the end, although I would assume that many fans might not like it so much. I don't want to go into too much detail for those who haven't yet read the book, but I will say that this installment lacked the pep and humor that is abundant throughout the rest of the series. Yes, there was humor, along with the seemingly random tangents that Mr. Adams loves to take, but I just didn't feel like there was as much humor in this one as the others.
I really enjoyed this series as a whole, although the first two books, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, were my favorites of the five.
On a side note, I finished reading Mostly Harmless mere minutes before a 5.6 magnitude earthquake shook my whole house. Now, mind you, I live in Oklahoma. We don't get earthquakes very often here. Well, at least not the kind you feel. We got one about a year ago, but it was much smaller. And apparently I missed one while I was asleep this morning, but it was also smaller. No damage as far as I can tell, but it was still very unnerving! And, if you've read Mostly Harmless, you'll understand that reading the last few pages and then being in an earthquake can really creep you out!
Ooooh, now I want to start reading the series so that I can understand that reference! I guess I could just flip to the last few pages of the last book (Ha! just kidding!)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read some of these before the year is out because they are so short i could finish them quickly and I'm so far behind on my challenge.
Congrats at completing your challenge! I mean I know you aren't done yet, but with two months left to read one book, I'm sure you'll make it!
See you later!
