The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy #3-5
Автостопом по галактике: Опять в путь
Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of the The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out of work actor.
Together this dynamic pair begin their journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitch Hiker's Guide "A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have" and a galaxy-full of fellow travellers: Zaphod Beeblebrox - the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out to lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ball-point pens he has bought over the years.

Коротенька весела та досить таки не стандартна книжка. Прочитав з задоволенням!

Divided into two books by AST publisher, The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy is a tough mix of comedy, drama and anti-utopia. Last year I read the first two parts and enjoyed them a lot. They were full of sarcasm, easy to read and so full of new feelings and emotions that the whole series was perceived as a comedy.
But last three books are much deeper and come across different topics such as humanity, honesty, relations between people, destiny. The end of the book reminds you that every life is precious and full of different colours

Вот и закончилась эпопея. Первые две романа мне показались более интересными, но завершающий роман тоже хорош. Грустный, конечно, но такой же абсурдный, как и все творчества Адамса. В хорошем смысле, конечно же. Не паникуй и 42. 42/10 :)

Дочитал из уважения к автору, но сильно разочарован.

Довольно интересные и обширные вопросы представлены в сатиричной и даже абсурдной манере. Тупые шутки на важные и занимательные темы.

Дуглас Адамс - потрясающий фантазёр и гений английского юмора.
Продолжение приключений Артура Дента и компании вышло ещё более насыщенным, сумасшедшим, ироничным, если это вообще было возможно представить.
Я начинала читать эту книгу в марте 2020, но, по понятным для всех причинам, прекратила: невозможно в постоянно меняющемся мире читать книгу, в которой всё меняется ещё быстрее.
Читается на одном дыхании, но лучше всё же не повторять моей ошибки и не делать перерыва длиной в 4 года между первой и второй частью.
Ставлю пять звёзд из пяти и рекомендую читать её, лёжа в тёплой кроватке с горячим чаем под боком, зная хотя бы примерно, чем обернётся завтрашний день.

В очередной раз убедилась, что фантастика совсем не мой жанр. Не смогла дочитать, увы.

Атмосферно как всегда, не хватило только захватывающего сюжета. А написано и переведено просто гениально, каждая строчка - находка!

Настолько же круто, как первые части

Бриллиант. Интересно, но ничего не понятно. Читается на одном дыхании. Можно причислить к категории "лёгкое чтиво", но так же можно найти очень много глубоких мыслей. Есть над чем задуматься.
