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.

Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term …

Attenzione ai conti dei camerieri
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.
