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 . . .

Critic reviews

He had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spoke (Stephen Fry)
Dazzlingly inventive (Caitlin Moran)

Martin Freeman narrates well, although it sounds like he had a cold. Still, overall a good audio book.

Fun, but not the best of the series
