À propos de cet audio

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

“Wild satire . . . The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes.”—Chicago Tribune

The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads—so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation.

They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the galaxy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox.

How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert “universal” Armageddon and save life as we know it—and don’t know it!

This book is a bit different from the others in the series because it is more focused on Arthur and is more of a romance book but it is just as good as all the others I would recommend

Very well made

This competes with the first book as my favourite in the series. Fun and absurd with a side of charm is my best attempt at a description.

Martin Freeman & the rest of the production are top class, not so much a narration as a voice actor playing a wild cast of characters and managing to make them all sound very distinct. The only possible improvement I could see above this is having multiple narrators (which TBF I have encountered exactly 1 time with Hank Green’s second book and it is awesome).

Great story, great adaptation.

It’s a fantastic story from start to finish, brilliantly written. The narration is perfectly done, felt like I was there throughout the story.

A story to get lost in

This made a long trip much shorter. Douglas's comedic sci fi aporoach and his ability to find the cosmic laughs in mundane activities is extraordinary.

Martin Freeman is funny and easy to understand.

I felt like it got a bit confusing at the end. The main villain suddenly came into story and faded away.

Cool events happen in this one but it's confusing
