This book occasionally shows vague traces of promise, but overall it’s a dud, a failed attempt, and not worth reading unless you’re a Douglas Adams addict with a compulsion to read everything he ever wrote. Be warned that it’s mostly dreary, depressing, and pointless. I don’t know what had gone wrong with his life at the time, but it must have been something pretty awful. Instead of writing this dud, he should have taken a nice holiday, or a bunch of happy pills, or something. I read it a second time after almost 32 years only because I’d forgotten all about it. It is best forgotten. This book... is a disappointment. Which is hard to admit from a series that has made me laugh so hard for three books straight. Its a bleek book that feels like the author throwing his hands in the air and letting it all fall apart. And, from what I read, Douglas Adams was also not a fan of this one. Sad. Just sad all around. no reviews | add a review

And Arthur found a nice Earth that looks like Earth. So he settles down.
This is the end of Arthur's adventures.
It's just that. The end.
It's a nice ending even if things don't end in the best way possible... ( )
