The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

Title: The Restaurant at the end of the Universe





Author: Douglas Adams





Published: Pan Macmillan, 1980





Pages: 199





Series: Book 2, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy





Snippet: "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. 

There is another theory which states that this has already happened." 





Summary: Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability--and desperately in search of a place to eat.

Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.


Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be! (Taken from Goodreads)



Review:  Yet more laughs in the sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  The Restaurant at the end of the Universe is truly great and I just laughed at so many of the parts.





One thing I love about this book is the characters names.  They're just so odd, names such as Zaphod for example,  but there are a lot more than that.





The plot thickens in this book and I think I'm starting to see what the main focus of the book series is going to be but I can't be 100% sure.





While this series is considered 'old' it is still very readable and I am absolutely loving my journey through the galaxy with Arthur, Zaphod, Ford, Trillion and of course Marvin.





If you haven't read any books in the series you are seriously missing out.  The Restaurant at the end of the Universe is definitely worth checking out!

My Point ... And I do have one by Ellen DeGeneres

Title: My Point ... And I Do Have One
Author: Ellen DeGeneres
Published: Bantam, 1996
Pages: 211
Snippet: "I bet nobody knows I'm crazy."
Summary: Ellen DeGeneres shares her hilarious take on everything from our most baffling human foibles–including how we behave in elevators, airplanes, and restrooms, and why we’re so scared of the boogeyman–to fashion trends, celebrity, and her secret recipe for Ellen’s Real Frenchy French Toast.
Review: This is Ellen's first book and I have read her second one and can say that it is definitely funny. The first one is pretty funny too. I really liked it.
I have to give a warning though, if you were looking for an honest and truthful, serious look into Ellen and her life this is not that book.
My Point ... And I Do Have One is pretty funny and I have to say that I laughed out loud quite a few times.
At times I felt the book moved a little slowly but there were other times when I found it to be quite funny and highly entertaining.
This is Ellen's first book and it is quite outdated and things are a little different now in certain things. But if you're a fan of Ellen and are looking for something light and humorous go ahead and read this book.

Series: Book 10, Georgia Nicolson
Pages: 315
Snippet: "I look like I've been playing hockey with the piranha family."
Summary: Ohmygiddygodspyjamas! The tenth marvy book in the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson is here! Get ready to laugh like a loon on loon tablets. It's the FINAL instalment of Georgia's fab and hilarious diary! Does Georgia escape the cakeshop of luuurve? Can there be more heartbreaknosity in store? Will the Sex God pop up again unexpectedly (oo-er)! And what about the supreme accidental snogmaster Dave the Laugh? Will she FINALLY choose her only one and only? So many boys, so little time!.
Review: So the end is finally here and it is mighty sad to see Georgia go.
But in the final book there were some completely wonderful moments. I laughed so much it was great.
I've been wanting to read this book for such a long time and now I have, and I am here to tell you that the Georgia Nicolson series is not to be missed.
It was good to see all of my old favourite characters for the last time. And then there were others I didn't really like.
Are These My Basoomas I See Before me is such a funny book and it is definitely worth the read.
