The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

A while back, I reviewed the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, part one of a five part trilogy. This week I am reviewing part two of the trilogy.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is similar to its predecessor in its satirical style and its bizarre sense of humour. As usual, it uses extraordinary events, aliens and a sci-fi world to make fun of human nature. The difference is that the plot of the second book is much more complicated.

So basically, our protagonists are attacked, tossed into an alternate universe, a messiah returns, the universe ends, the main characters fly into a sun and meet the man who rules the universe. These events somehow results in Arthur and Ford living with the Neanderthals and finding the ultimate question regarding life, the universe and everything.  Trust me, those weren’t spoilers.

Bottom Line – this book was highly enjoyable and just as good as the first one. There isn’t really anything bad I could say about it. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys science fiction or satires. I give it a 5/5.
