Review of
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
By Mid-Prairie Teen


Arthur Dent, Trillian (the last humans in the universe), Marvin (a depressed robot), Ford Perfect (Dent's Friend), and Zaphood Bebblebrox (ex-hippie, ex- galactic president) are in for another crazy wacky adventure. After the explosion of the black ship and the separating of the friends, we rejoin Arthur on Earth 2.0. His friend Ford is no where around and he decide to go mad and he thinks he sees Ford over him. "I tried that," stated Ford, "but I discovered that one must not decide to go mad, but to decide to let him be overcome by insanity."
Is this the real Ford Perfect, do the friends ever reunite, do they ever learn to fly, and will Zaphood ever find his soul? So many questions that may, or may not, are answered as you read.
This is not a book for those who need to understand a book to enjoy it. If one tries their head would probably explode. This book is for the people who read a book ...
And it's available in Amazon UK, but I'm not sure about the price.

Watership Down

Watership Down, is written by Richard Adams, was released on 1976-01-01, is made by Avon. The list price is around US$7.99.
This is my favorite book. I know that it's about rabbits, but really it's so much more. This book is about civilization and community and survival. It's about friendship and freedom and mythological stories.

I first read this book as part of my High School Freshman English summer reading requirement (Thank you Mrs. Gollander). I dreaded it then because all I could understand was that rabbits were talking and running around. Later in my life I read it again. And then again.

I think I love this book so much because it is a Utopian adventure. We are with these rabbits the whole way, cheering them on (and they don't disappoint us). We want them to survive despite the obstacles they face.

This book challenges us to face the things that threaten our way of life. It tells us that if we act justly and honestly, things will turn out for the best.
You can buy this in Amazon.com
