Arthur finally settles on the planet Lamuella as a sandwich maker, using meat from Perfectly Normal Beasts. He is content, until his daughter turns up, a daughter he had no idea existed. Now he's running after her as she steals a spaceship to try to find his home planet.
Random is just that; random. She randomly turns up, and is then as unpredictable as they come. But then again, she is a teenager. I quite like her though. She just does what she wants to do, and doesn't care what anyone else thinks.
The Perfectly Normal Beast is intriguing. It's one thing to be come almost godlike among the people of Lamuella because you know how to make sandwiches, it's another to be making said sandwiches from the meat of animals you have no idea about. They just suddenly appear in this one spot, and no questions are answered, although I'm sure they are asked!
I prefer it when they are on spaceships working together, than all the characters being apart. I like the interactions they have and I think they need to be together. They all seem to be a bit sad when they're apart.
This was the last of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series written by Douglas Adams but I'm aware of a book called And Another Thing... written by Eoin Colfer. Although I'm not usually a fan of other authors carrying on another series, I will read the last addition. No point ending the story when there is more to be read!
