Advantages: Easily the the most intelligent and well-written book of the Hitchhiker's series.
Disadvantages: Little input from some of the best characters.

...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.

Advantages: Best work of Adams ever!!!!!
