Mostly Harmless

Book Review

«Mostly Harmless» is the fifth and final book in Douglas Adams's «The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy» series. Critics note that in this book, Adams continues his signature style, blending absurd humor with philosophical reflections on life, the universe, and everything else. However, compared to the previous installments, «Mostly Harmless» is perceived as darker and more melancholic. Many readers and critics believe that the book reflects the author's personal experiences related to his life and career at the time of writing. Nevertheless, Adams maintains his unique voice, and his fans will find many familiar elements here, such as unexpected plot twists and witty dialogues. Overall, the book received mixed reviews: some consider it a worthy conclusion to the series, while others find it less successful compared to the earlier parts.
