Publisher's Summary
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.

Over the top
Some things are getting a bit much with the story. A few to many coincidences. A few too many stupid things from Arther.

Great book. I enjoyed the story.
An enjoyable bit of escapist fantasy. Objectively, the narrator did a good job. However, subjectively, I prefer the voice acting of Stephen Fry. It would have been preferable, in my view, for all four books in the trilogy to have the same narrator and I would not really have minded which one. Share and enjoy!

brilliant story, if a little hazy
It's Douglas Adams. You know it's going to be good. not as good as the first two mind, but essential reads all the same.
