Mostly Harmless (Douglas Adams)

This is the fifth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, which makes about as much sense as the books do. They are zany, imaginative, mind-blowing, and funny. It's been a long time since I've read one of them, which may be why this one didn't appeal to me as much as the others did, though I still enjoyed it. The usual characters (Arthur Dent, Ford Perfect, and assorted aliens and humans) careen around the universes like pinballs on TILT, running up against corporate greed, multidimensional bison, unexpected offspring, and Elvis in the process.I was mostly disappointed in how it ended, or didn't; the major issues of the book are entirely unresolved. The ride was fun, but the destination left something to be desired.
