Helpful Score: 1

While Douglas Adams' writing style is still enjoyable in this fourth book in the trilogy (yes, you read that right), he doesn't manage to be as funny as in the previous entries. I believe this is due to the fact that most of the story actually happens on Earth, as opposed to Arthur wandering around in space trying to negotiate his way through laugh out loud situations. There is also a serious lack of Marvin the robot (he only appears in one chapter). Overall, I still enjoyed reading it, but it didn't meet my expectations for the series.

Check out my extended review.
