About this listen

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, read by Martin Freeman, is the fourth instalment in Douglas Adams' bestselling Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 'trilogy'.

There is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. It's not an easy thing to do, and Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this nifty little trick – until he meets Fenchurch, the woman of his dreams.

Fenchurch once realized how the world could be made a good and happy place. Unfortunately, she's forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies within God's Final Message to His Creation, they go in search of it. And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it . . .

Follow Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the last of the 'trilogy of five', Mostly Harmless.

 Adventure Fiction First Contact Humorous Literature & Fiction Science Fiction Fantasy Comedy Funny Witty Interstellar Dream

Critic reviews

There has never been another writer remotely like Douglas Adams. He discovered a completely new genre – scientific wit – and having discovered it he raised it to dizzying heights (Tony Robinson)
It changed my whole life. It's literally out of this world (Tom Baker)

I really enjoyed the story and this story and the narrator. I wish Marvin was in the story more often.

Tangents become very arbitrary and lengthy.
Lots of repitition from former books.
Main characters change (arthur dent suddenly becomes wise savvy and cocky)
Cynism almost self-fulfilling.

most tedious of the series.

Love these stories, have listened to the full set now and all were well read by Martin Freeman. Initially I was sceptical as didn't think anyone could perform them as well as Stephen Fry but I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend the full series, made my journeys to work a lot more interesting.

Love it
