Otherwise, even a Bablefish couldn’t help you understand the events in this subsequent novel or really any of my fantastically well-articulated reviews.įunctioning as three pseudo connected stories with a break for some good eats and entertainment in the middle, the closed off portion in Zaphod’s brain, previously touched upon loosely in Hitchhiker is causing quite a stir, especially in the world of long dead but still very irascible relatives.
Oh, and if you don’t know what I am talking about, go back to book one in the “trilogy” and read The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxyfirst. With the charisma of a Monty Python skit and the narrative foundational structure of a dream, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe doesn’t capture the glory of the famous and much beloved Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – but it certainly doesn’t disappoint readers with an alien addiction and a desire for the absurd, the highly improbably, and a good lunch. and doesn’t, leaving the crew separated and destined to have many adventures before finally, they get to eat, watch the universe get destroyed, and then start the fun all over again. Scaring up an old relative for some help works. Zigging through space haplessly hungry, with an unknown Vogon bent on destruction siting missiles as we speak, Arthur Dent ties up the Heart of Gold’s circuit drive on one very important, crucial question: the proper way to make a really good cup of tea.Ībout to be destroyed for good, two-headed, three armed Zaphod Beeblebrox, ex-president of the galaxy, bumbling thief, and encumbered with a brain full of secrets, decides that now would be a really great time for a séance. In another schizophrenic ride through highly improbable time and space adventure, Arthur Dent and rag-tag crew are pondering less the true meaning of earth’s creation and more: where would be a really great place to eat. ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
“Yeah,” said the voice from under the table, “you go to pieces so fast people get hit by the shrapnel.” “I’m a pretty dangerous dude when I’m cornered.” Rating: “…and the Universe, … will explode later for your pleasure.”
