series/standalone: the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy #4/5
personal star rating: 4/5 stars
from the back cover:
"From the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy:
"and then, one Thursday, nearly 2,000 years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own somewhere in Rickmansworth suddenly realised what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no-one would have to get nailed to anything.
Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace by-pass, and so the idea was lost forever. This is not her story..."
But So Long and Thanks for all the Fish is.
At least partly...
Arthur Dent finds her in the last place in the universe he would expect to find anything but which 3,976,000,000 people will find oddly familiar.
first sentence:
"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun."
review:
I really liked reading this book. It was different from the other three earlier books and seemed to be easier to follow. I found it to be entertaining and enjoyable. I like this series. There's not much to say about it, just that it was good. I'm a bit indifferent about this series. It's good but I don't know how I'm feeling.
