I bought this book to replace one I loaned out several years ago -- it was never returned. Love Douglas Adams and this series; so happy to reread it and realize it's as good or better than I remember.

If you are a fan of Hitch Hikers Guide of the Galaxy because of its bizarre twist on Sci-fi this may not be for you. If you love H2G2 because of Adams’s writing style then this book will not disappoint as it is written in the same brilliantly rollicking hilarious manner and is a true joy to read.

He is a brilliant writer, great thinker and a good person. This book is neither better nor worse than his famous Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it's different, and splendid.

A ghost-horror-detective-time-travel-romantic-comedy-epic
This is a very strange book. Adams himself has described it as a "ghost-horror-detective-time-travel-romantic-comedy-epic, mainly concerned with mud, music and quantum mechanics. Read more
