Product Description

Book Description

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?


Ingram

A story about a man's wacked-out quest for answers to questions such as: Why did all the dolphins disappear? and What is God's final message to His creatures?. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fresh Addition, May 23 2002
By Timothy W. Postma (Jenison, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This 4th book in the Hitchhiker's trilogy is very fresh! There are a bunch of new characters, and Arthur's life takes on some new and interesting twists. We haven't seen any romance in Arthur's life yet, but he's about to find some! Fenchurch (the girl friend in question) is mysterious AND funny! And their visit with Wonko the Sane (at least that's what he tells everybody) answers a lot of questions about the dolphins. Then there are the sideline characters that are just plain hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at Rob McKenna and Will Smithers!

I have to admit I wasn't too anxious to start this book after the last one. I was thinking that Adams was trying to add another sequel to what was at first a genius story, but was beginning to be overplayed. Ever had that sensation going to the umpteenth sequel of a tired movie? You forget how great the first one was because the last one is so boring and repetitive. Well, he DOESN'T do this! This book is like a homer with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth! The setting has changed (primarily to earth). (What, hadn't earth been blown up?) And a few of the mainstay characters don't even appear. It really adds a new dimension to this unique and tremendous series!

Would this book be complete without a visit from Marvin? I think not. Read this book; you may even find a little peace - like he does.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Another Great Book By Adams, Mar 26 2002
By Screendoor (The Prairie) - See all my reviews
I loved this book and I see no reason for you not to like it, it stays true to the series and I thought it was the funniest in the series besides the first. You got to read this book and buy twenty-three copies to distribute between your friends and co-workers, the book is that good.

You may ask, "Why should I buy twenty-three copies to distribute between my friends and co-workers?" I have one answer for you. You need to spread the spirit of Douglas Adams, because he can't do it himself anymore. Please show your respect for the series and recruit more hitchhikers.

Earth lost a good person last year. In fact we lost a lot of good authors, Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson just to name a couple. Show your respect by reading a book by an author who died last year. Adams' death came way too soon.

I give "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish," five stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent with titles, Aug 9 2001
By A. Mittal "amit fun-to-win" (Bangalore, India) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lovely carrying on in the spirit of the "trilogi of 4 " it defines. Not for someone who has not read the others in the trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it!
Douglas Adams has done it again. A hysterical addition to the trilogy. If you love comedy and science fiction this is a must read. Ideal for children aged 12-102.

1.0 out of 5 stars So Long humor - stick with the trilogy!!!
The first book was terrific, the second great, the third good. Now, however, I think Adams has lost his thread. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Different, but very good
As the fourth book in the Hitchhiker "trilogy", this is a great novel and a step up from Life, The Universe, and Everything in quality. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Different, and superior to the rest
This book, the fourth in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Trilogy, is, hands down, the best. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars What Happened?
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy was great. The Resturaunt at the End of the Universe was almost as good. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars At this point, it all starts to go sadly wrong...
The brilliant trilogy "Hitchhiker's Guide", "Restaurant" and "Life, the Universe" constituted an act which was nearly impossible to follow. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep reading till this one, definitely the best.
So Long is the best in the "trilogy of four" of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, after the unexpected surprise of the first, and the two funny yet low-paced sequels... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious
Brilliant. Witty. Biting. Absolutely Hilarious. The Hitchhiker series is not to be missed; they are the funniest collection of books ever written. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars So Long, And Thanks for All The Fish
This book was very different, and a lot better, than the last two books in the series. I like how Arthur is depicted a bit more "normal" than before. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but very different from the rest of the series
My theory is that Douglas Adams had 2 worries after the first part of this whole series. First of all, jeez louise, he sure was giving poor Arthur Dent a hard time... Read more
