Explanation Conducive To Books Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #5)

It’s easy to get disheartened when your planet has been blown up, the woman you love has vanished due to a misunderstanding about space/time, the spaceship you are on crashes on a remote and Bob-fearing planet, and all you have to fall back on are a few simple sandwich-making skills. However, instead of being disheartened, Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life a bit–and immediately all hell breaks loose.

Hell takes a number of forms: there’s the standard Ford Prefect version, in the shape of an all-new edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and a totally unexpected manifestation in the form of a teenage girl who startles Arthur Dent by being his daughter when he didn’t even know he had one.

Can Arthur save the Earth from total multidimensional obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can he save his daughter, Random, from herself? Of course not. He never works out exactly what is going on. Will you?

Notice Out Of Books Mostly Harmless (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #5)

Love this! Mostly harmless was Mostly harmful for me.

3.5 starsMuch better than the last book, there was a lot more action, space adventure and silly humour. I loved Arthur and the whole sandwich making thing he had going on, it was hilarious, his interactions with Random were quite funny too. I didn't like Ford all that much though, his parts dragged and he just wasn't very entertaining.The ending was a tad depressing with what happened to all the Earths. I guess it was better to end in that way because then the gang would forever travel in

I can't highlight all the passages that I like in this book because I would end up highlighting the entire book. I enjoy slipping things in that are quotes from any of the Hitchhikker's guide books into conversations with people just because it makes me smile. There is just so much wit to choose from.A couple good ones from Mostly Harmless:A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Nothing travels

For some reason this fifth volume is not included in most collection of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I've only realised this recently. As with most of Adams' book, I finished the book with the feeling that I only sort of know what was going on and wasn't really sure what the point of it was but I had so much fun along the way that I didn't really care. This edition sees a new guide being created which works across all the dimensions. Queue chaos. Arthur Dent spends a great deal of time

The fifth and final installment in the Hitchhiker trilogy is generally regarded as the weakest in the series (its the lowest rated on this site, for example). The story is focused on Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect. Poor Arthur, who finally found happiness at the end of book four, has the love of his life whisked away from him senselessly and is back to wandering the galaxy alone. He finally settles down to a life that many would find mind-numbingly dull but that suits Arthur just fine. Just as he

(mild spoilers ahead)It's terribly amusing that the majority of reviewers have tossed this fifth part to the trilogy aside, banished it from their mental schemata of the series so as to acknowledge only that which ends well. I think it says a lot about the readership that they took in the entirety of the first four books without picking up on the melancholy and nihilistic subtext to Adams' writing. I mean, the first book ends with the discovery that the meaning of life is 42.... how much clearer

Douglas Adams finishes off the series with a flourish.
