The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Book 2) by Douglas Adams | (MOBI) Free Download

Description

Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! “Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.”—The Washington Post Book WorldFacing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability.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. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally).Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker’s Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!“What’s such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams’s sardonically silly eyes.”—Detroit Free Press

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I read this because of its mention in “The Universe Next Door” (James Sire) In the section on nihilism. Had to force myself to finish. This book is second In The Hitchhiker’s Guide series. Don’t know if I’II finish or not. Massive silliness. Didn’t Care for The narrator. Voices are silly, not entertaining.

⭐Author Douglas Adams brings us the next adventure in his Hitchhikers Guild to the Galaxy trilogy with the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Picking up where book one left off Author Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, and Zaphod are being hunted by the Zogon who demolished Earth. He chases them until the Heart of Gold, the ship that Zaphod stole vanishes. Zaphod and Marvin the robot find themselves on the planet where the Hitchhikers Guild to the Galaxy are published and that the building that they’re in is being taken from that planet to the Frogstar world B. All this thanks to Zaphod’s great great Gradfather. While on the Forgstar planet Zaphod is taken to the Total Perspective Vortex where he is shown that he is the most important person in the universe. After they find Zaniwoop, Zaphod asks the Heart of Gold’s computer to take to the nearest Restaurant which happens to me Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. This is a great book and it’s fun rereading it and it makes me look forward to reading the next book in the trilogy, Life the Universe and Everything. I highly recommend this series to all science fiction fans.

⭐It’s a good book.

⭐This book should be read after the “The hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, due to the fact that “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” starts where the previously mentioned book ends. That is, with the two survivors to the Earth’s destruction, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect, traveling along Trillian, Marvin the robot and Zaphod Beeblebrox in the “Heart of gold”, a stolen Improbability Drive ship.If you read this book, you will go along with our friends in their adventures, for example when they visit Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, or when they escape certain destruction in a stuntship used by rockstars. You will also learn the real meaning of “dying for a cup of tea”, and have a chance to eat meat that wants to be eaten. Of course, Marvin will continue giving you lessons in pessimism, and Zaphod will go on being “so weird that he should be in movies”.I liked this book, but I didn’t love it nearly as much as “The hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. What is more, “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” doesn’t have a clear ending, and I find some fault in that. Of course, I am more than ready to read the next book in the series, but that is not the point.On the whole, I don’t recommend “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe” to those that haven’t read “The hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, due to the fact that they won’t enjoy it so much. Notwithstanding that, I do recommend this book as entertaining reading material for those already addicted to Douglas Adams quirky sense of humour. It is not perfect, but it is more than good enough to enjoy :)Belen Alcat

⭐…. With more of the same.While not so good as a stand alone (you’ll be lost in time & space without the background of Book 1), this second in the umpteen-part, increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker’s Trilogy tries even harder than the first to laser your funny bone.Seems that the thing we call (ultimately to be used-to-call) Earth is really just a mighty big supercomputer, built to work out the ultimate question to the ultimate answer, 42. Like all expensive software however, just before it actually does whatever it’s supposed to do, it crashes – in this case due to the hacker Vogons and their total annihilation programme. Unlike your regular hard drive, two bits escape to byte another day, and we continue their story.In one of the many funny lines from the book, Zaphod Beeblebrox remarks, “I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis”. This book is just as hip.Our heroes are aboard their Improbability Driven spaceship, when Arthur Dent happens to tie up all the computer circuits just when the Vogons are launching an attack. Zaphod decides its time to see dead people, and with a strange twist, he and miserable Marvin, the depressed computer, disappear, while Arthur takes a tea break.Zaphod materializes elsewhere and immediately starts looking for the man who rules the Universe, while Marvin continues to depress and be depressed. In my humble opinion, Marvin is the star of this book, but I digress.After having his sense of perspective sorely tested, Zaphod improbably conjures a happy reunion, although this leaves him sadly out of pocket. Deciding that they should find the nearest place to eat, their ship’s computer zaps them to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.From this half-way point, the book takes off on a fresh tangent of humor, floor shows, loud rock bands, talking meat, and wicked vehicles – that is, until the universe ends.Then the humor starts all over again.A very worthy follow up to the famous first.Amanda Richards, March 7, 2005

⭐I do very much like the way Douglas Adams writes and the books are enjoyable so far but I feel like there was so little plot progression that it seemed like a vehicle just to make jokes and have silly conversations. Its charming in the first book but less so here. Still good though.

⭐Written by a genius, started as a radio show, then spawned a TV show, and then became the second greatest book ever written. Just buy it. Your life will be better, you’ll suddenly be aware of all the jokes that have gone over your head you by all your life.

⭐In reading this I was worried that Douglas Adams may not live up to the first amazing book of this series, but he did, and more.I am in awe of how Adams works language. It’s just a joy to read. I didn’t stop laughing nearly the entire time reading this. So many random moments like lifts that talk back, mistakes with contraception and time machines and other random, random things.The ending just kinda fizzled off and left me wanting to know what happens next – not so much a cliff hanger but definitely not a proper “finish”.My only fault with this book is that I remember absolutely no names of anything as they are all so random and complicated that it boggles my mind to even pronounce and spell them never mind actually recall them (Apart from Marvin, Arthur, Trillian & Ford – of course!)

⭐So my husband and I are both fans of this series, read the books, seen the live show, own the DVDs (orig and modern remake) so we were not at all surprised that our son has followed suit. Being 4 though it is a little hard for him to read and impossible for mummy to read in the car so audio books to the rescue.Each disk is just long enough for our daily commute so over a week we can listen to the whole book.Even though this is abridged there is nothing lost. Even my husband and I enjoy these as we don’t always have the energy to read and there is something comforting about being read to.Good for fans of all ages.

⭐It’s usually hard to live up to an excellent first instalment but Douglas Adams managed to make a book as absurdly enjoyable as the first.
