I read this series to 20 years, and I'm really broke me is the adsurde Edika to the world of SF - puns to be savored and re-savor throughout the book, a narrative line that makes sense to the end, and really big stupid cruel villains. Douglas Adams's imagination is boundless, its main character is a poor anti-hero type wish (coward, drunkard, uninteresting ...), and the end of the sixth book is amazing despite that. Happy reading and thank you for the fish!
