So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

By: Douglas Adams

Narrated by: Martin Freeman

Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series!

“A madcap adventure . . . Adams’s writing teeters on the fringe of inspired lunacy.”—United Press International

Back on Earth with nothing more to show for his long, strange trip through time and space than a ratty towel and a plastic shopping bag, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription, the mysterious disappearance of Earth’s dolphins, and the discovery of his battered copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy all conspire to give Arthur the sneaking suspicion that something otherworldly is indeed going on.

God only knows what it all means. Fortunately, He left behind a Final Message of explanation. But since it’s light-years away from Earth, on a star surrounded by souvenir booths, finding out what it is will mean hitching a ride to the far reaches of space aboard a UFO with a giant robot. What else is new?

“The most ridiculously exaggerated situation comedy known to created beings . . . Adams is irresistible.”—The Boston Globe©2006 Douglas Adams; (P)2006 Random House, Inc.

A must listen..

Martin Freeman does another amazing job of narrating the series. the entire series is very comical and easy to listen to and better to read. I would suggest this series for anyone looking for a very funny and interesting book.

Best Book Yet!

This is my favorite book in this series so far! So very clever and well plotted.

Excellent book

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams continues in the 4th installment a great time listening and well narrated by Martin Freeman truly a awe inspiring series.

Great

This is my 2nd favorite in the series so far. You’re truly going to love it.

still funny, but meanders

before I say anything I regret, this is just as good in any of the hitch hikers books and i enjoyed it. But maybe its Adams writing style or i need to listen again, but this time around things drag along. again i enjoyed this and will continue the series, but if you buy this be aware things will be different than the others before.
