So Long, and thanks for all the Fish - Douglas Adams

...the Earth here after being so unexpectedly blown-up in the first book? On the way home, he hitchhikes (not surprisingly!) and is picked up by a robust ginger-haired man called Rufus. Nothing particularly odd about that, until Arthur glances behind him and looks upon the sleeping woman-of-his-dreams; Fenchurch (named according to the London station where she was conceived...) But, before he can find out more about her, Arthur is dropped off outside ...
...again. At length, he returns to his normal life on Earth - his apartment is still there, his friend's are still present and well and the destruction of the Earth branded as 'something funny in the water' - nothing more than a mass hallucination. It also appears that it's only been a few months since Arthur Dent's mysterious disappearance. But Arthur knows better and goes about finding the exact location of the cave he lived in, in Prehistoric Earth. ...

Review of So Long, and thanks for all the Fish - Douglas Adams

...Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy, so it’s a bit of an oddity already, What’s even odder is that Hitchhikers is primarily known as a lunatic spin on sci-fi conventions and yet this is more of a romantic novel. No come back, it may be romance but the mind that thought up the fact that the Earth is a giant computer run by mice trying to find the question of life the universe and everything to which the answer is 42 isn’t going to write ...
...in an inside out house so he doesn’t have to enter the asylum, but like Arthur and Fenchurch knows the last message of the dolphins. We also get to know God’s final message to creation. From a judge a book by its cover viewpoint search the charity shops and find an old copy it will be black with a small picture of a sealion on the front and somehow this seems illogical yet somehow correct. Newer copies just look a bit of a mess and ...

Review of So Long, and thanks for all the Fish - Douglas Adams

...conclusion to the series, but So long and thanks for all the fish really does have an excellent ending, with one of the funniest epilogues of this new age. The book begins with our good friend Arthur Dent, returning to Earth and through hitching a lift meets the girl of his dreams, who's name fails to impress Arthur. But soon Arthur has to leave the car, after suspicious looks from the girl's brother, and he feels as if his life is over. However, ...
...what makes the book good, so you have to buy it. Say goodbye to the scotch, unload your depression onto this book and you'll be laughing all night, tears streaming down your face (happy tears of course), this book truly rocks, only bad thing is no Zaphod (ohhhhhhhhh) no Trillian (erm) and no Slartibartfast (cough). Have Fun! Will. P.S. My previous truly shit rating of the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy (titled Dude where's my planet) is being ...

Review of So Long, and thanks for all the Fish - Douglas Adams

This is a really great novel, very rewarding for those that have read the other Hitch-Hikers books. It is the forth in the series and tells of Arthurs Dents return to a sudden re-appeared Earth. The book is as funny as the others especially Arthurs flying exploits which are carried over well from the last book. The only dissapointment is that this isn't the last book in the series because it has a great and ironic ending which is also quite happy. ...
