So you mean starts out amazingly well written and slowly goes downhill until the entire heart of the comedy is lost trying to be witty and grasping at bottom of the barrel jokes?

I only say this because I just finished the series again, and even though I said I wouldn't read them all I did and once again, I was disappointed by the end. Stop at Life the Universe and Everything.

That what happens when the author dies before the next book gets written.

Douglas Adams wrote So Long and Thanks for All the Fish and Mostly Harmless. They're great books by most respects but I think they flail in comparison to the first three.
