Book Reviews of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Book Review: These are the Voyages of the Starship Heart of Gold
Summary: 5 Stars
Arthur Dent, having had his planet blown up, hitchhiked across the galexy with the aide of his friend Ford Prefect (from the vacinity of Beleguse, and not southern England as he'd always claimed) and the wholly remarkable book "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galexy," and discovered mice built the computer Earth to find the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, is a hungry man, as are his companions, fellow human Trillion, and the erstwhile President of the Galexy, Zaphoid Betlebrox. This is the wholy remarkable story of their attempt to get to the Resturant at the End of the Universe, where rather exotic and pleased-to-be-served dishes are provided to the enjoyment of the clientelle.
A Hillarious book, with a wonderful britsh feel from its audioreader, its a must have for fans and newbies alike. From their eventful dinner, to the population of the Earth, various bouts of time- and space- travel, and Adam's hillarious humour, The Resturant at the End of the Universe is a favourite....
Summary of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
"DOUGLAS ADAMS IS A TERRIFIC SATIRIST."--The Washington Post Book World
Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability--and desperately in search of a place to eat.
Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.
Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!
"What's such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams' sardonically silly eyes."
--Detroit Free Press
