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

"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."

" 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. "

" This one was a little boring... "

" 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... "

" No es tan genial como los 3 primeros pero es muy bueno "
