Great, random book. Audiobook was great.

How can I possibly like something as random and insane like The Restaurant at the End of the Universe :P? It really puzzles me how I love this writing. The utter nonsense presented as if it has some profound meaning hidden to it, in essence explains our life I guess. Wait, that actually makes this book deep doesn't it?

A really weird but oddly charming book, just like the one before it. There's really no way to predict where the story is about to go which is part of the fun. This funny sequel was an enjoyable read and I did enjoy it. I don't think I would read it again or that it was the most impactful book I've ever read but I really did like it.

Good listen. Not as entertaining as the first Guide book. But a good continuation of the saga. Read by Martian Freeman, AKA Arthur from the Hitchhiker movie. I really want to continue with the rest of the books now.

Just previous to reading this wonderfully witty book I was engaged in the fruitless exercise of trying to get TVO’s The Agenda to correct the errors in their charts of budget balances in their “Deficits: Past, Present and Future” episode of October 9, 2015. I was told repeatedly, against all logic, that there was no need to change anything as their charts were accurate. It reminded me of the notice regarding “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” to be found in this book (see p. 30), which was given to litigants intent on suing the book’s publisher for damages incurred due to inaccuracies in the book: “This was the gist of the note. It said, ‘The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.’”
The second volume of a trilogy is often the weakest link. (Think of Nino Ricci’s “In a Glass House”, the second volume of his trilogy that started with “Lives of the Saints”.) But here the second volume is if anything even stronger than the first. Perhaps it is because it is the second volume of a trilogy in five parts!

Every bit as clever and humorous as the first book.

Not as good as Hitchhiker's Guide but still entertaining.

This sequel continues the oddities of the Universe through they eyes of our beloved whack-a-doodle characters and brings us to the brink of the great End, and sells us one way tickets to absolute enjoyable absurdity. Marvin is by far the funniest and sometimes even "familiar" character like myself and I believe if you've got your towel still ready, and soaked in lemon juice then continue on the insane ride through a unique perspective of the Known, and Unknown Universe.

Not nearly as entertaining as the first, and somewhat of a narration let down after the Stephen Fry version of Hitchhiker's Guide (which was amazing!), but still a very entertaining book. True to form Adams keeps you thinking and laughing throughout the entire text.

A worthwhile listen to continue the adventures of Book 1, but not something I would revisit again.
