More About This Book

Overview

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. And 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. But what else is new?

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The fourth book in the hilarious series that began with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this installment returns Arthur Dent, after his years of space adventure, to a replacement Earththe first was destroyed to make way for an intergalactic highway. The new planet is identical to the old one except that all the dolphins are missing, and Dent tries to uncover the reason. PW found this book ``short on plot and long on whimsy and surreal humor.''

Meet the Author

Douglas Adams is the bestselling author of the Hitchhiker books: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, The Universe and Everything; and Mostly Harmless.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has appeared in more forms than one might reasonably expect, most of which flatly contradict each other. It has appeared as a BBC-TV series; all sorts of different records, cassettes, and CDs, a computer game, and also, apathetically, a bath towel. A series of graphic novels is currently in preparation, and the motion picture version is confidently expected any decade now.

Adams lives partly in Islington, London, partly in Provence, France, but mostly in airport bookshops.

    It's insane

    This book is insane. Arthur and his girlfriend are definatly an odd couple. This book is among the most interesting in the series. A good buy, I recommend it if you love Douglas Adams as I do!

    Slightly disappointing to a crazy HHGttG fan

    Okay, it's a nice little story about Arthur getting a girlfriend (which seems rather odd-- Arthur always seemed like the type who'd have a horribly difficult time trying to find a date), but it doesn't really add to the "trilogy". The plot has very little, well, plot, and almost no resolution. True, few HitchHiker books have any resolution, but this lack-of-resolution seems more unpleasant than the others. Zaphod and Trillian are not around, Marvin keels over (and is actually fairly content at the time-- gasp of horror!), and Ford is sadly neglected in the story. Arthur's attitude towards Ford throughout the book makes the reader wonder why Ford bothered to save him from Earth in the first place. The first three HitchHiker books were brilliant, and I'm sure this one had its highlights (I must admit, the chapter where Ford gets them onto the space ship through a scientific "break in. Through." is hillarious), but perhaps this would have been better left unpublished.
