Life, the Universe, and Everything

By: Douglas Adams

Narrated by: Martin Freeman

Read by Martin Freeman.

In Life, the Universe and Everything – the third title in Douglas Adams' blockbusting sci-fi comedy series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – Arthur Dent finds himself enlisted to prevent a galactic war.

In consequence of a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot possibly get any worse, they suddenly do. He discovers that the galaxy is not only mind-bogglingly big and bewildering, but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair.

Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in his dressing gown . . .

Follow Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.

Absolutely delightful, and still extremely relevant

Loved loved loved the book. Brilliant story, fabulous performance, edge of the seat drama and hilarious through and through…

Martin Freeman is a legend 🙌

Though the story was not as hilarious as the 1st book, it was still a great book to listen to.

I was blown away by Martin Freeman's narration. When listening to his narration, it was very easy to create mental pictures on each character. Looking forward to listen to more of his recordings!

Best Serie ever

This book just has everything you need to be happy word word word word .

Watch out for the Lords of Krikket!

Martin Freeman again delivers a fantastic narration of the late, great Douglas Adams words. A couple of the characters weren't quite vocalised how I imagined and that initially jolted me but overall, this is a lot of fun to listen to.

Amazing 3

I Found out about this series of books Because of a Space interview i was watching. without many hopes Because I Don't like to read I ended in this Amazing Story and realized how much i could actually read an enjoy an audio book at the same time. Absolutely a must for people who likes physics, space and humor

Of the first three, this one is the least good

The story is not as good as in the first two books. It’s slow, dull and very weird - not in a good way unfortunately. It takes a long time for the book to reach the level the two others are on.

The title says it all

I love this book. Performance of Martin Freeman is superb. It is hard to say more, just go for it!
