I thought it started out slow - up to maybe page 50 I thought, "well, Adams has lost his touch", too bad - but it straightens out eventually and has a fine conclusion. Not quite up to the standards of his earlier books, because of the weak start - but the grand final conclusion, in which all sorts of off-the-wall stuff is ex- plained, in the tradition of many SF books, makes it worth the read. -- Jerry decvax!yale-comix!leichter
