Douglas Adams excels at this type of writing and HGG, his first novel, set the stage for several successful sequels based on the same characters. Though this is a carryover from the episodic nature of the radio programs, it is a feature of this and the other books which follow. After all, I'd hate to think that you'd risk missing out on the best SF parody ever written. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
