More About This Book

Overview

Why is it a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes?
How the planet Krikkit, hostile to anything that is not Krikkit, comes to be encased in a Slo-time envelope...
Why Arthur Dent has such an urgent wish to return the Ashes to Lord's Cricket Ground, and why a can of Greek olive oil becomes his most prized possession, symbolizing as it does the oneness of things...

How the Campaign for Real Time is determined to reverse the erosion of the differences between one century and antoher caused by easy time travel... All these mysteries and more come to light in this, the second volume of the Hitchhiker trilogy. Follow Arthur Dent on a day which begins with his visit from Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged (whose goal is to insult everyone in the universe - alphabetically) and ends with the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth - which turns out to have entirely too much to do with frogs. About the Author

New York Times bestselling author DOUGLAS ADAMS enjoyed amazing success on both sides of the Atlantic in radio, television, theater, and spoken-word audio. He authored the bestselling Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that sold over 14 million copies worldwide, as well as the other four titles in that trilogy (yes there are 5 in this trilogy). He also wrote the bestselling titles Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and Long-Dark Tea-Time of the Soul. In May, 2001, Douglas Adams passed away unexpectedly, leaving millions of fans worldwide. The Salmon of a Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time is the treasure he left behind on the hard drive of his beloved Macintosh. Look for each of these classic titles from New Millennium Audio.

No less a mission than preventing the destruction of the universe hurtles Arthur Dent and company through their third uproarious romp in space and time. "Wild satire . . . The reckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes."--Chicago Tribune. Previously published by Pocket Books.

    Classic of Sci-Fi Comedy

    A classic entry into the Hitchhiker trilogy. All of the characters that readers of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe are back in a thrilling and funny adventure to prevent the end of the universe. Like the first two books, it is filled with Adams' humorous asides of high strangeness in the universe.

    Confusing Book

    Life, the Universe and Everything was very confusing to me . I thought it was confusing because there was a lot of time traveling in it. I also had a hard time understanding were every body was. There were also parts I uderstood really good. Over all the book was really good. I think everybody should read this book.

    Definitely hoopy

    I laughed so much while I was reading this book. People kept giving me weird looks, like, Why is that girl laughing so much? And also, Why is that girl throwing herself at the ground and mising? You should all go out and read this book. And also, you're all jerks. (That's from ole Wowbagger.)

    I love the Universe

    Life, the Universe and Everything was interesting to follow the first two. The main theme is obvious same the universes, unlike in the other books it was kind of hidden under what was going on in them. The book was great with the whole time traveling. Plus you get to see what happens to every character one at a time then they all come together at the end to complete a nice third book. I would have to say I like this book for the plot twists. Also I like how it flowed with the other books nicely unlike some, trilogies if you will, done have a lot to do with each other just the characters. You find out more about the white robots and cricket.... This book, its great... sorry but I believe it is. It doesn¿t follow the typical style of book writing most people are used too. But I loved the couch (you¿ll see why if you read the book), also that poor rabbit... so sad. This and many other interesting twist¿s and turns await you in this book.

    Amazing and Hilarious

    Douglas Adams is one of the only authors classifed as science fiction that I really really like to read. The man is absolutely brilliant.
