David McK (3600 KP) rated Life, the Universe and Everything in Books

Jan 28, 2019

The third of the Hitch-Hikers Guide books, which starts with Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent still stuck on a prehistoric Earth.

It's not long, however, before they are back in 'our' time, roped into an attempt to save the Universe for destruction by an army of robots made by an alien race. Of course, they fail spectacularly in all their attempts to stop the robots gathering the items they need to release their masters, who were imprisoned inside a 'Slo-Time envelope' following a long and protracted war aeons ago.

To be honest, I found this book to be rather surreal. Despite a few good moments, it was never really laugh-out-loud funny, ending in a blatant attempt for a sequel (which, to be fair, I probably will read at some stage).

Sorely Disappointed

I really wanted to enjoy this. I loved the stage show and adore the animation. From the onset this let me down. I hung on until the Prince Ali song, because if this couldn't be done right what could? Not only was a bit miffed at the fact that things were not in the order of the other 2 versions (both done by Disney so I don't understand why you would fix something that isn't broken), but the songs lacked something: flare, brightness, the thing that gives me the urge to sing and jig along. The was constant throughout the film, it seemed to lack colour (not actually colour but it seemed a bit dull). Sorely disappointed.
