“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.”
Douglas Adams (1952 – 2001) British comedy writer and dramatist
I was totally impressed by the first book The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy. This second book in the series takes of where the first book leaves us. The crew was heading to the restaurant at the end of the universe, because they felt like having not eaten for decades, and that is where they will land, but…there is always a but…only after Marvin the depressed robot is left behind several times, Zaphod is taken on a ride to “infinity” by his great-grandfather he summoned to get some information and getting more than he has bargained for in the process.
Finally at the restaurant they meet with a cow who wants to be eaten and is making a great effort to show off his gorgeous shoulders and ribs and they meet with the end of the universe. What is left after seeing that? Well, a visit to the ruler of the universe of course, to finally get the big question to the answer 42.
This book is as funny and intelligently written as the first one. On to book #3!
