Humorous science fiction novels have notoriously limited audiences; they tend to be full of ''in'' jokes understandable only to those who read everything from Jules Verne to Harlan Ellison. The ''Hitchhiker's Guide'' is a delightful exception, being written for anyone who can understand the thrill that might come to a crew of interstellar explorers who discover a mysterious planet, dead for five million years, and then hear on their ''sub etha'' radio a ghostly voice, hollow, reedy, insubstantial: ''Greetings to you. ... This is a recorded announcement, as I'm afraid we're all out at the moment. ...''

La mezcla de absurdidad con ciencia ficción, me ha recordado (salvando las distancias) a Pratchett. Me ha gustado mucho el build up hacia el final, con los pequeños detalles inconexos a lo largo de la novela y que adquieren sentido con la resolución de La Pregunta.
Un plus a la narración de Posada, mi primera incursión en Audible ha valido la pena. ( )
