Negative Positive
Title: Eh....
Review: "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" is a catchy title and worthy of the increasingly ill-named Trilogy of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but the contents failed to live up to its three predecessors. The reason, perhaps, lies in Adams' attempt to make Arthur Dent less of "a real jerk. An absolute kneebiter." Arthur Dent speaks in coherent sentences, gains a fractured but otherwise normal girlfriend, STAYS ON EARTH. We see Marvin only at the end, Ford infrequently and Zaphod not at all. The "zaniness" just isn't there. If you're sick at home with a cold and have nothing else to read but Volgon poetry, give it a try. Your insides won't strangle you, but you won't be cured as quickly, say, if you read "Life, the Universe, and Everything."
