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

Love this whole series!

In addition to the talented writing of Douglas Adams, I thoroughly enjoyed the narration by Martin Freeman. A marvelous combination!

Freeman is amazing

I loved this when I read it, but Freeman makes it even better with his awesome narration.

wonderful story read wonderfully

Martin Freeman is a wonderful story teller with a wonderful range of voices. Thoroughly recommend this to everyone. Full of very funny interludes.

Absurdly Perfect, as usual

Took a little longer to get to the good stuff but worth the wait. I love that things that seemed trivial in pervious books always seem to come back around.

the quest for 42

Follows the mildest story so far in the series, but it still holds the same wacky stuff like before.

fantastic

I love this series! I've come to realize , that like a good show, I will return time and time again.

😐

Story takes some time to get through and move on. Wish it was a little more interesting.

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.
