Quizá no es tan fresco como el primero, y tiene algún pequeño chiste que se nota que es de los 80, pero mantiene muy bien el tipo y el tono. Además de unas cuantas criticas mordaces a la humanidad y al modo en que hacemos las cosas.

La trama en general me ha gustado, pero se nota con el final que tenia pensado una tercera parte, aunque sea relativamente cerrado, da un poco la sensación de final abrupto porque sí.

Aún así me ha gustado bastante y seguiré con la saga. ( )

Amusing, as always ( )

A sequel to Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe continues to revolve around the life of Arthur Dent, who has found himself in outer space, on The Heart of Gold, being hunted by Vogons, and earth less. Travelling with Ford, Zaphod and Trillian throughout space and time, two questions emerge: firstly, who is the ruler of the known universe? And foremost, where shall we have lunch?
Witty and smart, not to mention, just a bit zany, Adam's combines the improbable with the ordinary. It is an amazing concoction of humour, adventure and philosophy but with a storyline that zig-zags all over the place.
Despite being a fun read, its ideas don't quite live up to Adams' first book in this series. Therefore, I found his ambitions for this novel comparatively underwhelming. There's an exchange between Arthur and Zahpod that sort of sums up my general feeling about the second book
“Look Earthman,” he said angrily, “you’ve got a job to do, right? The Question to the Ultimate Answer, right?”
“What, that thing?” said Arthur. “I thought we’d forgotten about that.”
Martin Freeman narratives the audio book and I must say, it is well worth a listen. Just don't expect to make to much sense of the plot points - it’s the journey not the destination that’s fun here. It's a wacky story, that in the end, leaves our heroes stranded on a pre-historic earth. ( )

I like this series of books beyond any reason or justification so my review of this book probably isn't worth much.
I listened to the audiobook version this time, narrated by Martin Freeman. Of course, the fact that it wasn't narrated by Stephen Fry was a huge dissapointment during the first few chapters, but, a few pages in Freeman won me over. He might not have the aristocratic air of Fry, but he had the voice-acting down to perfection. This made the story really come to life for me, more so than the voice-acting of Stephen Fry (whose "Marvin" was pretty bad to be honest). ( )

Wasn't as good as the first but will continue listening to the series. ( )
