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?

The entire series is absolutely fabulous. A must read for anyone remotely interested in either comedy or scifi.

Overall, it's a good story. My complaint is that sometimes it really feels like it drags on and on and on and on... It doesn't flow the best and even with its humor, I did sometimes wonder why I was still reading this book. A lot of times, I had to wonder what the point of things were (which is probably the author's goal) and how many pages I had left before it was over. But, since I wanted to know what happens in the end, I kept going.

This is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker trilogy. Yeah, I know, that sounds stupid, but you have to know the series. This was more readable to me than the other ones. It seems to be more coherent and the cast of characters doesn't get lost. It's not bad. And if you like Adam's work, you'll love it. Just wasn't for me.
