So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish: 4/5 (Hitchhikers Guide 4) by Douglas Adams

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish: 4/5 (Hitchhikers Guide 4)  by Douglas Adams
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is Book 4 of the Hitchhiker series but its very different to the first three. It features Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect and Marvin (briefly), I missed Trillian and Zaphod and obviously a whole lot more of Marvin. As always, it is a cleverly written book with typical Douglas Adams humour.
I was disappointed by the overt focus on romance in this copy (reminded me of cheapish 70s sci-fi movies with better dialogues). I would have preferred more space action to boring earthly love scenes.

Life, the universe and everything (book 3 of Hitchhiker's guide to theGalaxy)

Life,The Universe and Everything by Douglas Adama
Rating; 5 out of 5



I have just finished reading the third book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the  Galaxy series and what can I say? It's brilliant. It really stretches your imagination but it's an enjoyable experience. I do feel for poor Arthur - you can feel he is on the edge of madness! I love Zaphod in the book too but I did miss little Marvin - I wish he had featured more in the book. 


My favourite part in the book is the scene where you find out the ultra lethal robots are depressed because the central computer is Marvin! And Zaphod doesn't rescue him again! 

To conclude, this is a great book and I can't wait to start the next one!
