As far as comedic action goes, you cannot do better in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy than "Life, the Universe and Everything." In this sense, it is tops in its series and has few peers elsewhere. The book (the third in the five book trilogy) starts off a couple of years after "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe." Arthur is still stranded in his prehistoric "ship of fools" society. By the end of the book, Arthur, Ford, Slartibartfast, Trilian, and Zaphod not only discover the gruesome origins of the game Cricket, but also manage to save the universe. Possibly the funniest part of the whole series of books comes in chapter sixteen. Arthur encounters a beast named Agrajag who is convinced Arthur has murdered him in all his previous lives. The scene is not only hysterical but it also sets the stage for one of the biggest themes in book five: "Mostly Harmless." The bit about Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged was really funny too. Adams was at the pinnacle of his comedic powers in this book. Its possibly the funniest thing he ever wrote. Reading through this series has made me mourn his early passing all the more. I give "Life, the Universe and Everything" my full recommendation.Read full review
