well i just finished reading the book, and all i have to say is...WHY? Why did it finish so fast? I saw that it had 340+ pages and when i got to page 290 or so the next page said "now for our 92 page 'the making of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: movie'" I got so put off. Well anyway not to say that it wasn't a great book but i wanted so read MORE!!!! Oh well, guess i gotta read the next book in the series.
But so i dont leave you hagging on what went on...
-then when all hope seemed lost a random ship, called "the heart of gold", picked them up on pure chance with an improbability count of 2^100,000 to one against and falling
-there they met the last female human Trillian and Zaphod Beeblbroxa two headed and three armed alien, one of the arms is cybernetical. And the two mice
-apparently the ship was stolen and headed for a mythical planet that made other planets that was said to have died off and closed around 5 million years ago.
-they eventually arrived there and were greeted by two nukes. (i guess it was active :S)
-when they got there it was totally deserted, but eventually made it into the planet and discovered that all of its main functions were still up and running and one sole person was still alive, but his name is not important.
-they soon learned that our planet, earth, was made there to fit a customers orders to make a planet that can be used as a computer (yes apparently our planet's a computer and were the circuts or something) and the customers were.....you'll never guess........want me to tell you?...well...the costomer is.....all....of...the.....MICE!!! yes mice from a super intelligent paradimensional universe orderd for our planet to be created to allow a 5 billion year question embarkment...the question of an answer.
-you see about 15 billion years ago a couple of cumpeter nerd created a computer to answer the ultimate question, What is the answer to life, the universe and everything? And after 5 billion years of waiting it turned out to be....42 -_-; The people were all stunned at this lame answer so the comp said to build a new one and figure out what the question actually was...but the dumb aliens destroyed it 5 minutes before it was about to give the answer
-then some random police came, tried to shoot em and thcharacters fled to The Resturant at the End of th Universe...
Yeah thats how it ends, thats why i thought it ended to quickly
