pickThis is a bit of a side quest off the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. Overall it does have the same vibe and I'm glad I read it. My only complaint is about how a sexual relationship was portrayed. Douglas Adams came up with the bones of the story but asked his friend Terry Jones to write the book because he was working on the computer game version. Terry Jones is a member of Monty Python. He also wrote the 80's movie Labyrinth.
bailedSad that I wasn't able to finish this book. It was all pictures of his writings/documents and a few photographs. What I did read was boring to me and didn't want to continue.

Enjoy!
I am taking my time and enjoying this. It is a side story to Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series. (That he came up with and wrote the outline for.) I only learned about its existence very recently. Of course I immediately found a copy on eBay to purchase. Terry Jones is a member of Monty Python for those that don't already know.
I also liked this book, the 6th and last of the Hitchhiker series. I know it is an unpopular opinion though. I just felt that the author really kept the feel of the previous books in his writing.
pickPart Adams, part Monty Python, & an all around ridiculously absurd fun space adventure.

pickThis book is so much Douglas Adams! James Goss did an awesome job making a book out of different text fragments and documents. I had so much fun with this and loved how the characters evolved. And yes, this book made me laugh, just as every book by Douglas Adams does. Very well done, Mr. Goss!

Bk8 of my recent #BookMail is this larger than I was expecting “coffee table book” of journals, tv plays & drawings of the incomparable Douglas Adams, satirist & author of Hitchhikers GuideTo the Galaxy & it‘s resultant series of books & tv shows. With characters like Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox & Marvin the Paranoid Android, he became the king of silly SciFi. Some of my favourite books of all time. Foreword by Stephen Fry.
