Mostly Harmless

The fifth and final installment of the Hitchhiker's series must have just struck me the right way at the right time. It's the least liked of the series by the majority of fans, but I really enjoyed it. Like all his books, it's hard to know where it's going. Everything is absurd and random. It's darker than the previous books and has an abrupt ending. It is said that Adams wrote this book during a particularly difficult year and was thinking of writing a sixth book to bring it to a better conclusion. Tragically, he died before writing it. Still, I liked what he tried to do here and feel satisfied that the "trilogy" had closure.
