Publisher Description

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

    " After reading the first book in the series, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Universe, I went Douglas Adams crazy and picked up the rest. None of them hold a candle to the first one, but there is still a lot of fun English humor to enjoy in this book too. "

    " This book was somewhat better than the boring drug-trip third book in the series, and is still mildly entertaining in the way that all Adams books can't help but be. However, you can tell that the series has lost its spark by this point. "

    " I happened to read 'Mostly Harmless',the fifth in Hitchhiker's Triology first and now I got my hands to the fourth book in the series. It seems I have to read the series backwards. Still the books are great and an enjoyable read "

    " my favorite of the "trilogy" so far. the story was actually easy to follow, but still loads of fun. I have a feelings others didnt like it because it was the 'simplest' of the stories, but I think in this instance it really worked. Really short... "

    " God's Final Message to His Creation had me sniffling, and even the most cynical of beings as Marvin agreed. So simple and ordinary a message, yet so deeply profound. I don't know how Mr. Adams did it, but he sure did it well and with seeming ease. The book, on the whole, was great as usual, with seemingly pointless scenes clicking together effortlessly in the near end, as usual. I dread to go on to the next, and last, Hitchhiker book, and therefore am perfectly content to put it off by starting in on Mort by teh Pratchett. And re-reading Jurassic Park at the time, for unknown reasons other than I have an urge to. "

    " Enjoyable but ultimately pointless. This feels more like a side story than a main part of the Hitchhiker series, enjoyable yes but contributes nothing to the overall story and events that occur in the fifth book render this book meaningless, which is a shame as Fenchurch is a good character. "

    " Serious drop-off in quality here. This just did not have the eloquence, the humor, the insight, of the first three. Maybe three books is enough in a trilogy. One more to go, but it is not on the top of the reading pile. "

    " A somehow simultaneously more and less ambitious hitchhiker's book that takes the characterization to a whole new depth. A wonderful respite from the compelling insanity of the series up to this point, it's the Arthur Dent story you never knew you always wanted. "

    - Sam, 4/11/2011
  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " This has been the easiest of all the books in the trilogy to read, but it has also been the least interesting. There is very little in the way of "oddities" in this book and it seems more like a prologue to something else? Maybe the next book? "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5
