First 4 books were amazing, last one was mildly bad. Overall a great read though! Recommended for anyone who likes a bit of absurdity and philosophy in their sci-fi comedy.

I read this using the kindle app on my smartphone which was ironic, as my phone is like The Guide, an electronic book. The fact that the author could see this far ahead into the future was amazing.

Read this book, not only is it excellent, but you will finally understand what others are talking about. It's uniquely written and is referenced all the time by society and people online. I've seen "the meaning of life is 42"  and "Don't Panic!" throughout my life and had no idea what people were talking about... but now I do!

The author has a unique writing method and I have found myself thinking back to it often. It is not just the main plot that is memorable, its the small things that are throw in that I really liked. When it rains, I think of the rain god who didn't know he was a rain god and the 100+ types of rain he had identified. When my computer freezes, I think of the computer on board the ship that has an unknown hole in it and how it talks to other computers.... it's worth the time to read and is easily understood.

The last book seems to have taken on a darker tone and gets a little confusing, with a few more swear words thrown in, but the ending was phenomenal. I had to reread the last chapter to make sure I clearly understood what had just happened. It's the most surprising ending I have ever read and unlike other authors, the ending, just ENDS... just like that, its over, and you are left to wonder exactly what just happened. Many other authors could have gone to great lengths writing a detailed ending, but I preferred the ending in the book... its been weeks since I finished this book and I still smile when I think back to Ford Perfect laughing manically while looking at the matchbook. Read it, you won't be sorry.
