About this listen

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

“Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.”—The Washington Post Book World

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability.

Among Arthur’s motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who’s gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally).

Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker’s Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!

I think every single one of the books in this series is a work of art and has a funny silly way of talking about sci-fi. I really recommend this book and all the others (:

Very good book

Great book. Did not like the voice of the reader though. Did Zaph beetlebrox (name spelled incorrectly I know) in what was like a Bronx or new jersey accent. Very off-putting

it takes a while to get there. the store itself does have many extremely funny parts. but overall I was waiting for something compelling to happen. and it just wasn't happening I was getting disappointed.
But but but! In the very last chapter.
THERE IT IS. BOOM
Back on board, and VERY excited for book 3

Extremely compelling but......
