Mostly Harmless
by Douglas Adams
The final book, darker in tone but still unmistakably Adams.
My Take
Adams wrote this during a difficult period and it shows in the melancholy tone. Still funny, still inventive, but with a weight the earlier books didn't carry. The conclusion is controversial.
Best For
Completionists, those who want to see how it ends
Watch Out For
Darker tone than earlier books. The ending divides fans.
