Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Douglas Noel Adams was an English author, humourist, and screenwriter, best known for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG). Originally a 1978 BBC radio comedy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy developed into a "trilogy" of five books that sold more than 15 million copies in his lifetime. It was further developed into a television series, several stage plays, comics, a video game, and a 2005 feature film. Adams's contribution to UK radio is commemorated in The Radio Academy's Hall of Fame.
Adams also wrote Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987) and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (1988), and co-wrote The Meaning of Liff (1983), The Deeper Meaning of Liff (1990) and Last Chance to See (1990). He wrote two stories for the television series Doctor Who, co-wrote City of Death (1979), and served as script editor for its seventeenth season. He co-wrote the sketch "Patient Abuse" for the final episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. A posthumous collection of his selected works, including the first publication of his final (unfinished) novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002.
Adams was a self-proclaimed "radical atheist", an advocate for environmentalism and conservation, and a lover of fast cars, technological innovation, and the Apple Macintosh.

Dobre, bardzo dobre, choć mam wrażenie że są fragmenty bardziej pode mnie i mniej. Ale niektóre są boskie! Z przyjemnością przeczytane i jest to mądra kontynuacja poprzedniej części.

„Jeśli kiedykolwiek znów będziesz potrzebował pomocy, rozumiesz, jeśli będziesz tkwił po uszy w kłopotach i niezbędna będzie ci pomocna dłoń…
- Tak?
- …to giń bez wahania.” ❤️

Z tych dwóch części pamiętam głównie tyle, że niewiele pamiętam. Dalszy ciąg jazdy bez trzymanki, mnóstwo śmiechu, dystansu do życia i dobrej zabawy. Jednak na tym etapie jako czytelnik przestałam już oczekiwać jakiejś większej puenty, główny cel podróży stracił na znaczeniu, a sama podróż, chociaż wciąż ciekawa, nie przyciągała aż tak bardzo. Po skończeniu trzeciej części mogłabym już skończyć całkowicie przygodę z bohaterami, ale jednak ciekawa jestem, co tam u nich dalej. Czy żyli długo i szczęśliwie? Czy w ogóle żyli? Czy to wszystko ma jakikolwiek znaczenie? Pewnie nie ma, ale i tak sięgnę po kolejne części.

Jako kontynuacja - ok. Ale generalnie bez szału.

The edition I have is not the "2 Book Set". I have a single volume, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". Imagine a race of inferior humanoids two million years ago, learning how to play Scrabble, well enough to develop their own spoken language. Who are the dominant race that have travelled to the end of the universe, enjoyed the entertainment, and billions of them end up on Earth as it was two million years ago. They each have meaningless job skills, but they rule the Earth.

You may find yourself in this world of the 21st century. Nothing makes sense.

I read it the first time in the early 1990's. Would you enjoy seeing the destruction of the Earth replayed nightly as you eat dinner at a fine restaurant?
