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 "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Amazing imagery. It felt quite different from the first book, as this one delved more into the philosophy of the series. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy made me familiar to the author's style of absurd humor, so perhaps that is part of the reason why I did not find The Restaurant at the End of the Universe as startingly funny. It's a great book nonetheless, and I'll be thinking of it more for sure.
