Revisiting this one - it's been a while since I've read it! Honestly I don't know if I would like this if I were picking this up for the first time in my 30s. But I loved this book so much as a kid, and it really shaped my sense of humor. Admittedly, some of this did not age well since the last time I read this (and some of it hit too hard - e.g., the talk about Presidents), but on the whole it's still great. Still the same one-liners and hilarious observations.

Rereading this one again. In my mind it blends right in with the first. Same cast, same one-liners and irreverent plot twists. All the punchlines still land. Still great.

It's been even longer since I've read this one compared to the first two (middle school, probably?) but I still remember a lot of the jokes and punchlines. This one actually has more of a storyline than the first two - it mostly centers around the planet Kirkket - but it still has the same jumping around and random, wild scenarios happening out of nowhere. But that may actually be to the book's detriment. This still isn't a good series if you're looking for strong character development or a true plot. But there's more time travel, murderous robots, and perpetual murder victim Agrajag. Still some great moments, but I didn't love it as much as the first two.

I liked this, but not as much as the original trilogy. It has more of a plot, but I think that's actually to the book's detriment. It just doesn't feel the same - may be because it's mostly set on Earth and deals with Arthur and his new love interest, Fenchurch. I liked it, but it just didn't seem necessary.

Doesn't hit the same as the rest of the series. It's still funny but in a darker and more depressive way. But I still enjoyed it overall.
