Praise for “Mostly Harmless”
“Hitchhiker fans rejoice! . . . [Here’s] more of the same zany nonsensical mayhem.”
“It is Mr. Adams’s genius to hurl readers into a plot that seems to go everywhere and nowhere, then suddenly drop the pieces into place, click, click, click, like tumblers in a lock. . . . Delightful.”
