I loved Martin Freeman's reading of The Hitchhikers guide, but I love Douglas Adams' reading even better. He did not do different voices or act out the book, but just read it. This book focus on Arthur, so if you don't like Arthur's character you will probably not enjoy this book. ( )

34) So long & thanks for all the fish – Douglas Adams (4/10) What a crap book. I’ve started so I’ll finish them all, but I never really understood the appeal of Douglas Adams. Its obvious he didn’t originally intend to write 5 books, the quality plummets & he really is scraping the barrel. Ironically the foreword is enthusiastic praise from Neil Gaiman, who is a much better writer. ( )

I listened to an Audiobook version. This book was very funny and highly entertaining. I enjoyed listening to story read to me with a British accent. It made it more authentic and pleasurable. ( )

Arthur Dent returns to present-day Earth after eight years traveling through space and time. His house is dusty and the mail is piled high. He meets a girl named Fenchurch, reconnects with Ford Prefect, and the three travel back into space to find God's final message to his creation.

I like how Marvin shows up at the end of the book and I think God's message is funny. ( )

Disambiguation notice
[Book 4 Only] "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" is the title of the fourth in a series of novels (as well as the fourth in a series of radio dramas). The five works in the series are generally referred to as "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or "The Hitchhiker Trilogy", as is the series of radio dramas. Though there are unabridged audio recordings of these works, the radio dramas are considerably different from the printed works. Eoin Colfer, of "Artemis Fowl" fame, contracted in 2008 to write the next volume of the "Trilogy."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0330287001, Paperback)

Just when Arthur Dent`s sense of reality is at its most clouded, he suddenly finds the girl of his dreams. He finds her in the last place in the Universe in which he would expect to find anything at all, but which 3,976,000,000 people will find oddly familiar. They go in search of God`s Final Message to His Creation and, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it. This is volume four in the Trilogy of five.
