A dramatic tale, but suited more for older girls.

In this equally funny sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the story continues as the friends search for a place to eat and the Ultimate Question. Full of kidnaps, lame jokes, and time warps, this Sci-Fi novel will keep you laughing until the end.

A very excellent sequel. Three thumbs up!
