So much fun. There were so many points where I just burst out laughing.
Because of this, green wobbly bits is now going to be a regular part of my vocabulary.
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett

Since this book was described as the end of the series, I was hoping for more of a wrap up. Instead, I was left with a lot of questions and felt there was a lot left unexplained. I'm hoping that there is more coming, perhaps as a spin off series. ...more

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Douglas Adams
“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
