About this listen

Mostly Harmless is the fifth and final part in Douglas Adams' much-loved cult classic series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, read by Martin Freeman.

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 in their hands. When she runs away, Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the universe.

After all – he's encountered most of them before . . .

Douglas Adams genius storyteller

I have been listening to a few books lately, and they have been enjoyable but at times difficult to listen to.

I started this one and the magic of the read words swirled around my mind. Douglas Adams had a very good understanding of how stories sound good, probably from writing so much for radio and TV. His books are just an enormous pleasure to listen to.

We humans where so lucky to have had his artistic genius at all.

An epic finale

With weird pop culture tie-ins and events that make use of bizarre "what if" scenarios. This is a fun adventure that will keep you entertained.

Freeman makes it even funnier.

I grew up reading the Hitchhiker book series. In addition to being a far out funny series, I remember being fascinated at how clever and unique the plot and script was. Decades later, I've again reacquainted my love for the novels, and the experience, kind of like a journey back in my own space/time continuum. But this time, exceeding my expectations, the magic of the novel has been brought to new comical life by Martin Freeman. Simply put: Freeman makes it even funnier. The only bad thing I can say about this audible volume is that it ended!

Mostly amazing


I don’t know what to say, it’s over??!! The first one is the best I think but oh my gosh I will miss this story!
The names are wonderful love the choices
I love that it all came together in the end!
And Martin was the best choice!!

Not too bad

This instalment was better than the last two. Still could have done without the swearing.
