Fluffy clouds and wishful thinking

Revisado: 09-26-21

Fluffy clouds in wishful thinking are only going to get you so far. It was five hours and 22 minutes before the concept of having a budget was even Internet. Hours worth of talk without mentioning the word budget makes this book pretty difficult to listen to

Most Arrogant and Condescending Book

Revisado: 09-15-21

If you are trying to increase your faith in God, this book is not it. While it does speak of values, and has good intentions, the author does nothing but boast about his dealings as a therapist, constantly berates and mocks, and does not understand what an actual marriage is about. Terrible way to encourage someone to “be a man” while at the same time being a bigot and a condescending idiot. This is literally the worst book I’ve ever read, and I read it all just to make sure it didn’t have a change of heart. Shame on this author.

Rip off of geek culture

Revisado: 02-10-20

I do like this book. The story kept me entertained. However, some books pay homage to geek culture, pop culture, etc. this book has sooo many lame attempts that just fall flat on their face for me. Some of the characters are direct rip offs from the Martian or Battlestar Galactica. Inserting one liners about Star Wars that doesn’t help your story out in anyway comes off as cheap. I got so angry at this book because the story was good enough on its own and didn’t need that stuff. Vincent Hachour is a direct ripoff of Venket Kapoor from the Martian. (Later named Vincent in the movie)...Kara was a direct ripoff of Kara Trace from BSG. It’s not homage when you rip it off entirely.

Not as bad as the reviews

Revisado: 10-26-19

Ok, I will say the writing is very childish, but the narration is very good. I don’t like that it is a first person perspective of Luke Skywalker and how the reader is forced to pretend to want to be a Jedi. However, the story is still there with great acting. I still encourage everyone to read this, and forget about the childish parts.

Inaccurate....from the start.

Revisado: 03-01-19

I am a local that lived through the escape. From the very beginning of the book it is written that the Adirondack Park has over 100 peaks that are over 5,000 feet high. This is inaccurate. We have 46 peaks that are over 4000 feet high and over 100 that are above 3000 feet. If the author can flub up on such a small detail, it frightens me to read what liberties might be taken in the events of the prison escape. I will be returning the book.

Great insight on Addiction to anything

Revisado: 08-06-18

Great Book with a good Narrator. It can be repetitive in spots, but I think that is needed to clearly depict addiction to anything from substances to tech. An eye opening, though provoking book.

Terrible, just Terrible

Revisado: 02-12-18

I for one never write reviews. I usually rate books very high. The narration in this book was so bad, I couldn’t enjoy it. Voices of Characters were very poorly done. Just a terrible version of this story.

Wow!

Revisado: 05-11-17

This was far better than I expected it to be. What a read! Loved just about every minute of it. This comes from someone who likes Star Trek but doesn't consider themselves a huge fan of the series.

Here is what I did about the Narration comments

Revisado: 03-22-16

What did you like best about The Restaurant at the End of the Universe? What did you like least?

I really enjoyed the humor of this book. I found my self joking about it days later, when I finally got some of the jokes! There is more to this story than just the random things that happen. My least favorite part, is how the story jumps around a bit too much, but that's not a real big deal.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I've heard a lot of people complaining about the narration. It is GREAT! It is also DIFFERENT from the first book. I think that's what everyone had a hard time with. SO...what I did was listen to a different book after listening to Hitchhikers Guide, and I had forgotten some of the accents in the first book. It helped me quite a bit adjust to Zafod's new voice.

Was The Restaurant at the End of the Universe worth the listening time?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Listen to Hitchhiker's First, then switch gears, listen to a completely different book...then come back for book two. You will enjoy the new narrator this way.

Excellent Book!

Revisado: 03-01-16

Great for anyone interested. Narrator is monotone but does a good job otherwise. Well worth the price!
