Rating: - Not Douglas Adams best
This book has its moments, and the first half is very enjoyable. However, it starts to get lost about two thirds of the way through and never really recovers. The ending is not very satisfactory at all and overall this does not measure up to Douglas Adams usually very high standards.

Rating: - The Hitchhikers Guide to Valhalla.
I first feel in love with Douglas Adams on watching the TV version of `The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy' and then discovering the then Hitch Hiker novels.

Rating: - Good book, disapointing ending
That says it all. Many mysteries were in fact random stuff which will never get explined, probably because Adams is an excellent writer but a very bad scenarist.

Rating: - This is a hugely disappointing book.
Absolutely terrible! That is my honest opinion of this book. I read HHG and loved it, but this book was possible one of the worst I have read. If it hadn't been for Adams name on the cover I would have abandoned it after a few chapters. It read like something a school boy might write, or possibly J.K.Rowling. The humor can only be described as 'whacky', in that it tries to hard but is not actually funny, a bit like wearing odd socks and a bright dickey bow to seem funny. I feel many people have added stars ... Read More
