Life, the Universe and Everything

Read by Martin Freeman.

In Life, the Universe and Everything – the third title in Douglas Adams' blockbusting sci-fi comedy series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – Arthur Dent finds himself enlisted to prevent a galactic war.

In consequence of a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot possibly get any worse, they suddenly do. He discovers that the galaxy is not only mind-bogglingly big and bewildering, but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair.

Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in his dressing gown . . .

Follow Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the rest of the trilogy with five parts: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, and Mostly Harmless.

Perfect!

Inte alls lika bra som de två första böckerna tyvärr. Och då var det redan en ganska stor skillnad på bok ett och två. Men den är ändå underhållande. Men jag tappade fokus en del under denna bok, känner mig inte riktigt lika investerad i karaktärerna som jag gjort i de tidigare böckerna.

Ok uppföljare. Men inte lika bra som de andra böckerna.
