I came here to enjoy the wild and funny ride, because that’s what The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is. I didn’t come to this book looking for a plot.
The crew of the Heart of Gold’s adventures will take them to the End of the Universe and back, in a series of bizarre set pieces which some reviewers have criticized for “not being a coherent plot”. He told it about summer afternoons on the lawn. He told it about broad leaves drying in the sun. He told the Nutri-Matic about India, he told it about China, he told it about Ceylon. ‘No,’ he said, ‘look, it’s very, very simple … all I want … is a cup of tea. But their ship has powerful defenses, so everything should be fine, right?

The story picks up where Hitchhiker’s leaves off.
