Reviews for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[Christelle Donovan · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This is is not an audiobook of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - it is a performance of the whole story by Douglas Adams

[Mary · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

How amazing to hear Douglas Adams read his own writing!! So much fun.

[Kari Sayers · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Extremely entertaining. Yes…the title is misleading, but I was pleasantly surprised by this reading from the author.

[Chris · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great to hear Douglas Adams read from his work. I wish it were longer though

[Jacob J. Walker · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A gem that I had not known of, until it appeared to me like a couch on the savannah.... A life of a man gone but back in my consciousness. Rest in peace Douglas, but thank you for leaving this behind.
