Reviews with the most likes.
Remains the most definitive work ever written on the game of cricket.
This one has more of what you would call a plot. My favorite of the series after #1.
This is when the cynicism of the series might start to wear out a reader.
Terrible, frightening things happen that threaten all life in the Universe but all the people are either 1) to stupid to understand, 2) too self-involved to care, or 3) too inept to do anything about it.
The story of the planet Krikkit is quite tragic and sad if given consideration. Adams does this in a funny way of course.
Saving the day falls to Arthur, who is apparently the most ordinary man ever, but placed in the extraordinary position of being able to do something.
Martin Freeman is incredible at reading the audiobooks of these. Legendary performance.
Enjoyed the last quarter. There was a big lull in the middle.
Lacked the pace of the first book, and the fun characters of the 2nd book. Good tho :)
