Book Reviews of Mostly Harmless
Book Review: "Hitchhiker" fans can't afford to read this book
Summary: 2 Stars
If you're a fan of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, this is a book you can't afford to read. It will ruin what would otherwise be fond memories of a wonderful series."Hitchhiker" is one of the most tightly-woven stories ever written. Sometimes you'll only get a joke when you read the next book. The thought and love Douglas Adams put into the series are quite evident.
With this travesty, however, one gets the feeling that his heart just wasn't in it. Like someone else said, you can almost hear him saying, "there, here's your damn book, now leave me alone".
The whole tone of the series, of British melancholy humour, is simply absent. It's just depressing.
