IF TOM ROBBINS AND KURT VONNEGUT HAD A SON, THIS IS THE BOOK HE WOULD WRITE!
But he'd get sued down to his skivvies because Douglas Adams has already written it!
AND...
It's the wildest, funniest novel to come along in the last ten years.
Maybe fifteen.
Well...twelve, anyway.
Why, it's about the end of the world and the happy-go-lucky days that follow it...about the very worst Thursday that ever happened, and why the universe is a lot safer if you bring a towel...
If you haven't heard of it before, you're hearing about it now.
And this is just the Beginning. --back cover
How many times have I read this book? 10? 20? Audiobooks read by multiple narrators, the single edition of the book, the collected trilogy, the collected trilogy in four parts, all the different radio plays, the re-collected trilogy in five parts, the Vogon poetry tributes, etc.
Yet, still, I encounter things I don't remember.
How is it that I can't just quote it, verbatim from memory at this point?
At eg har unngått denne!
For ei bok. Morosam, full av eventyr, absurd. Dette var noko for meg.
