The first two novels in Douglas Adams' trilogy - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Restaurant at the End of the Universe - were brilliant, hilarious, and mostly focused. The third book in the series has some moments of genius, but is much less focused and I found myself losing interest as it approached the ending. The decision not to focus on one character's arc might be what led this one astray.
Ultimately, however, it's worth checking out as you work your way through Adams' works of genius.

Another fun space adventure that follows Arthur Dent through unlikely situations and this time on a mission to save the universe. I liked the book and Douglas Adams´s writing style as I did in the two previous books however this books lacks some of the philosophical questions that the previous ones had, "Life, the Universe and Everything" is a fun book for a quick read with an unforeseeable story line.

My personal favorite of the series. Finally we get to the flying. If you've ever dreamed you could fly, a lucid dream especially this book will be particularly enjoyable.

I quite liked, but didn't love this one. I don't know if it was just all the cricket focus or what - it had it's moments but ultimately I didn't love it as much as the first 2. Taking a pause on these until I need some more laughs.
