Life, the Universe and Everything: 3/5 (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) Paperback – 1 Sept. 2009

After reading the first book I was looking forward to reading the second one but I found it very disappointing and thought that Douglas Adams had really lost the plot with the story line.

Who would of thought that galactic wars will be fought over the game of cricket ? It's all the fault of the English. Love the book can't wait for the next one.

A commentary on life as we know it; relevant to the ever increasing alienation of the individual in the technological age. With Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams rates with Dickens and Defoe as social commentator through allegory, with the genre of science-fiction taken to its logical conclusion in ultimate absurdity. Recommendeed bedtime reading for every adult and child over the age of seven. All five books in the trilogy in five stages develop a theme both comic and tragic, and exceptionally well observed human nature.

Is a continuation of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, so I will be playing it regularly

Read a few times. The more I read the stores, the more I think Adams was a genius. If you think about work and every day situations, the quirky aliens remind more of real life people I've meet ( bankers, politicians, and other people who don't seem to be in touch with real life and reality ).

Enjoyed the programme decided to read the books, enjoying.

I received a different cover than the one I was offered so it doesn't fit with my collection, very disappointed.

Just as expected - and just what was asked for
