Summary

Mostly Harmless: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Part Five

Arthur Dent hadn’t had a day as bad as this since the Earth had been blown up.

After years of galactic wanderings, Arthur finally settles on the small planet Lamuella and becomes a sandwich maker. Looking forward to a quiet life, his plans are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter.

There’s nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

Critics Review

One of the world’s sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices

One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius – David WalliamsDazzlingly inventive – Caitlin MoranFizzing with ideas … Brilliant – Charlie BrookerIt changed my whole life. It’s literally out of this world – Tom BakerReally entertaining and fun – Michael PalinHitchhiker’s is packed with that unique energy, all barmy and bristling and bold. This book can be witty, iconoclastic, godless, savage, sweet, surreal, but above all, it dares to be silly. Fiercely, beautifully silly – Russell T. Davies, writer and producer of Doctor WhoHe had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spoke – Stephen FryThere has never been another writer remotely like Douglas Adams. He discovered a completely new genre – scientific wit – and having discovered it he raised it to dizzying heights – Tony RobinsonQuite good I suppose, if you like brilliantly entertaining books written with a touch of imaginative genius – Griff Rhys JonesVery occasionally a book comes along that changes the way you laugh and what you laugh about – Richard DawkinsOne of the world’s sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices * Independent on Sunday *Sheer delight * The Times *Magical … read this book * Sunday Express *
