Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbabilityband desperately in search of a place to eat.

Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly.

Review of 'Le dernier restaurant avant la fin du monde' on 'Goodreads'

Si vous avez un priori ou faites un rejet de l’humour anglais, passez votre chemin. Fan de l’absurde ou des Monty Python, ce livre est définitivement pour vous. Situations rocambolesques, surréalistes, personnages improbables, univers encore moins possibles, histoire à peine présente, l’ensemble se lit le sourire aux lèvres d’un bout à l’autre, avec quelques soubresauts de rires francs et sonores. Je viens de terminer la lecture mais je serais difficilement capable de raconter l’histoire, loufoque et délirante. Pas transcendant, mais un bon moment de rigolade.
