Mostly Harmless

by Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams is back with the amazing, logic-defying, but-why-stop-now fifth novel in the Hitchhiker Trilogy. Here is the epic story of Random, who sets out on a transgalactic quest to find the planet of her ancestors. Line drawings.


From the Hardcover edition. (read review)

Adams is one of my favorite authors of all time, and these books don't disappoint. I just read through the series for the 4th, maybe 5th time, and it's always fantastic. His humor, his clever word play, and his story lines all impress.

While this fifth book in the trilogy is still quite good, I find it my least favorite.

    Adams is one of those writers who took a really great concept and turned into a series, McCall Smith with the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is another. i can't blame them for taking the money, but you wonder if they could have been great literary novelists if they ever got untracked. I know I read the Guide and The Restuarant, and one other of the books, but to be honest, they began to blend so much I am not sure of the title.
