In a galaxy where absolutely everything (including space, time and alien anatomy) is uncertain, only one thing is guaranteed: at some point, you will need a decent meal.

Feeling a bit peckish following a long, unsettling journey across the universe, Arthur Dent finds himself on a mission that will end in death or dinner - or maybe both. And there's nowhere better for the ultimate meal than Milliways, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

The second book in Douglas Adams's brilliant, bestselling cult classic Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy, this is mind-bendingly, space-warpingly original and utterly hilarious. After all, what could be funnier than the end of time itself?

Review of 'Restaurant at the End of the Universe' on 'Goodreads'

This is a lot funnier than I remembered and, if anything, even better that The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.



It feels that Adams really hit his stride with this book and the absurdities that make his writing such a joy to read feel a lot more pointed and, consequently, a great deal more effective.
