An absolutely lovely read which keeps being relevant... probably for bloody ever, but particularly right now, going into not the bloody war mindset. ( ![]() First the Earth was blown up to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Now the inhabitants of the planet Krikkit are intent on collecting all of the elements that make up the Wikkit Gate, and so destroy the entire universe. The Krikkitmen are slightly Dalek-y in their desire to destroy all creatures who are not of Krikkit. The showdown for the universe unfolds, at least in part, at Lord’s Cricket Ground, with Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Trillian, and Zaphod Beeblebrox all playing roles. And Slartibartfast, of course. Can’t forget about him! This is the third of the original Hitchhiker’s trilogy and actually began life as a Doctor Who story for Tom Baker called Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen (which James Goss has adapted into a novel). It’s a meandering story, which can either be a bug or a feature, depending on your mood or preference. I was more receptive to it this time around, but of course the original Hitchhiker’s Guide is always going to be the best Just brilliant it was good, but not as good as the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Of course, Martin Freeman is still brilliant. I am definitely going to listen to the others in the series, but I decided to take a break first.. Absolutely lovely as I recall. Someday I'll have to read it again, so I can write a review.
Adams delights in cosmic pratfalls, and if he sometimes loses track of his narrative, he more than makes up for it by confirming what many have suspected all along: "He learned to communicate with birds and discovered that their conversation was fantastically boring. It was all to do with wind speed, wingspans, power-to-weight ratios and a fair bit about berries."

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vicepresident of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it! No library descriptions found. |
