Review of Life, the Universe and Everything - Douglas Adams

This is a review and a sorry to everyone who reads my reviews regulary, for the past month or so I have just hadn't been inspired by anything what so ever. On the plane to Malta I started to read 'Life, The Universe and everything' after 3 days of not so intense reading I finished the book and I laughed constantly all the way through.

...would also like to say that I am not going to write about the end because that would spoil the whole book for everyone who read this review (so 5 people then) Arthur Dent-The only human remaining thanks to a fleet of ships that are build a hyper terminal, Arthur got of earth with his friend Ford Prefect.

Not that this is a bad thing I just mean that it reads more like a novel and less like a series of connected events. It still retains the same format, our heroes drift from one place to another mainly in search of a good party while a series of bizare events distract them. While ...
