# The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

[![The Restaurant at the End of the Universe](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CBfvQW8yL._SL500_AA266_PIkin3,BottomRight,-15,34_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg)](http://www.amazon.com/Restaurant-at-End-Universe/dp/0345391810)**Takeaway: The story keeps moving.  I like the humor as much or better than the first.  Not a stand alone book.**

Purchase Links: [Paperback](http://www.amazon.com/Restaurant-at-End-Universe/dp/0345391810), [Kindle Edition](http://www.amazon.com/Restaurant-End-Universe-ebook/dp/B001ODEQCU/), [Kindle Edition of Ultimate (all five books)](http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Hitchhikers-Guide-Galaxy-ebook/dp/B0043M4ZH0/) – Ultimate is only $9.17 while each individual book is $6.29.

I am slowly working my way through the five books in the series.  I am reading it from my Ultimate kindle edition (which I recommend, so much cheaper and I alway recommend kindle versions.)

The second book moves the story along fairly well.  I didn’t really laugh out loud with this book either, but I liked the humor.  It is a little subtler than the first book.

This books is focused on why the Earth exists.  Doesn’t completely solve the issue. But takes a few very interesting turns.
