Douglas Adams is back with the amazing, logic-defying, but-why-stop-now <b>fifth</b> novel in the Hitchhiker Trilogy. Here is the epic story of Random, who sets out on a transgalactic quest to find the planet of her ancestors. <b>Line drawings.</b><br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>2842984book1992Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide, #5)total:8253|5:139|4:133|3:111|2:28|1:5|8253314921018520736falsefalseWed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1992Fri Jun 29 11:12:10 -0700 2007Fri Jun 29 11:23:13 -0700 2007
Mostly Harmless was, for many people, a disappointing end to a fantastic series. Adams admitted that he was having a "bad year" when he wrote this book, and it shows: the usual humor and manic pacing are largely gone, replaced by long tracts about actual theoretical science (as opposed to...more...]]>

The first half of the book was a pretty solid 4, rife with chuckle-worthy one-liners and wry observations that characterize the H2G...more...]]>

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish instead. So Long... was deliciously funny and filled with upbeat craziness, while Mostly Harmless was pervaded by an underlying sense of unease. To be honest, the ending felt a bit like Adams just gav...more...]]>

I loved this series of books. Adams is clever and inventive, but not without looking for a higher meaning. I would enjoy each moment and new idea as I flipped the pages as fast as I could, but I have to say at ...more...]]>

They are so broken and disjointed, the plot, if you can call it that, is everywhere. And each one of them just ends. In fact, there isn't a b...more...]]>

the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Each of the five installments can have as many nonsense moments as a typical episode of Lost, but with far more humor and imagination.

the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series are terrific. I discovered them in my early teen years, just about when I started to question what life was all about. These books don't have any answers they just make fun of the questions. They were really the right books at th...more...]]>

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I love the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (my favorite). I love his Dirk Gentley books...I did not, however, love Mostly Harmless. In fact, I didn't even like it. The book was hard to follow. The events didn't tie into p...more...]]>
