Life, the Universe and Everything

Written by Douglas Adams

Narrated by Martin Freeman

In Life, the Universe and Everything, the third title in Douglas Adams' blockbusting sci-fi comedy series read by actor Martin Freeman, Arthur Dent finds himself enlisted to prevent a galactic war.

In consequence of a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot possibly get any worse, they suddenly do. He discovers that the galaxy is not only mind-bogglingly big and bewildering, but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair.

Praise for audio edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

'By turns authorative as the narrator, bemused as Arthur Dent, deadpan as Ford Prefect and manic as Zaphod Beeblebrox' The Times

Reviews for Life, the Universe and Everything

[Ivana Mohler · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Still fun and I laughed quite a bit, but the narrative got messy with lots of filler

[Martin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very well done, Mr Freeman. Excellent portrayal of the different characters.

[Arnis · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great story of a classic. This book seems to have better pacing than the previous one. The way the time stretches when it has to and flies when it has to is done good.
