The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ???????????????The Restaurant at the End of the Universe ???????????????

Another solid book in one of my most anticipated series. I have always loved the movie of the first book, which remained a firm favourite in my social circle up. We referenced the film constantly. And now in adulthood, I'm reading the full series for the first time as audio books with my partner when we go on longer journeys.

The second book maintains the same whimsical style which the series is so well known for. Douglas Adams kept us both laughing throughout this witty book. I think the comedic style of this book is what keeps me coming back to the series; I think it is the best of British comedy.

As far as the plot? It was ridiculous and took multiple unexpected turns, much of what you'd expect this series to do. I absolutely loved Martin in this book and I think any part that focuses on him is hilarious.
