This is a fantastic book. It might be my favourite. Many consider Life, the Universe and Everything to be the best book in Douglas Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy of Five, and I would tend to agree with them. I have learned quite a few things about this book.
First, messing around with time travel almost always ends badly. What I mean by almost always is that it most definitely will be an interesting trip and a good story, but the mess that you leave behind will be disastrous.
Secondly, if you do happen to live in a place where time travel is possible and you're fighting evil robots and you think that you've won, in all likelihood you haven't. Turns out that they have the ability to time travel too. It brings to mind the ending of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey when Bill and Ted have a time war with the main villain where they all go back and forth through time trying to out do each other. The robots will do this and there is a possibility that they might win.
Thirdly, just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you should destroy it. It will only make other people mad and make a huge mess that you'll all be really upset over for years to come.
Fourthly, if someone offers you super advanced technology and says it will do whatever it is that you want to accomplish, don't accept it. They have an ulterior motive and it's probably not a good one.
Fifthly, finally, and most importantly; Sometimes the question and the answer can't be understood together, but make sense separately.
This review is almost done, I think. I highly suggest reading the epilogue. It was very important and I know that sometimes people skip it.
I give this book 10 Cricket wickets out of 10. It was a fantastic book.
