An unnecessary continuation
This was a tremendously disappointing book. From the start it feels like Douglas Adams heart wasn't in it and the end of the book confirms it.
It is the sequel noone asked for, or at least noone should have asked for.
I advise leaving the series at So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
Martin Freeman is a great voice actor and he can't be faulted.

Probably the weakest in series
the new characters and wackiness felt unoriginal and tired vs. previous ones. its a shame that its the last one from him as the quality really drops and felt like he ran out of interesting ideas. last half was a real slog.

Is that it?
Adam's absurdist sci-fi romp continues, and as it does I realise I have a few questions, and a few very minor gripes.
It feels as if very little of what occurs in the previous novels has any impact on the next, despite it being one continuous narrative.
The characters of Fenchurch and Zaphod being entirely written out of the story despite being major players in the story as a whole, both in regards to their individual characters and how they've affected the main characters feels... it doesn't feel right.
I enjoyed the story moving back and forth between Arthur and Ford's individual perspectives for the main bulk of the story. Parallel Trillians only added to the confusion of it all which I believe was the intention, but then it just...ends. The story just ends. There's no closure, no resolution, it just ends. So much is unresolved, so many questions left unanswered.
Overall it was a good listen, another solid entry in this series, but at the same time, the ending of it all left me wanting.

A great conclusion to the Hitch Hikers Guide and brilliantly performed by Martin Freeman. Arthur, Ford and Trillian reunited for one last improbable dance

Disappointing end to the series
The narration is just as good as the previous audiobooks read by Martin Freeman, but the story seems very out of place when compared to the other books. Not so funny, much more bleak and felt like it tried too hard in places. There were some humorous moments, but overall I did not enjoy this book.

Freeman makes it even funnier.
I grew up reading the Hitchhiker book series. In addition to being a far out funny series, I remember being fascinated at how clever and unique the plot and script was. Decades later, I've again reacquainted my love for the novels, and the experience, kind of like a journey back in my own space/time continuum. But this time, exceeding my expectations, the magic of the novel has been brought to new comical life by Martin Freeman. Simply put: Freeman makes it even funnier. The only bad thing I can say about this audible volume is that it ended!

Douglas Adams genius storyteller
I have been listening to a few books lately, and they have been enjoyable but at times difficult to listen to.
I started this one and the magic of the read words swirled around my mind. Douglas Adams had a very good understanding of how stories sound good, probably from writing so much for radio and TV. His books are just an enormous pleasure to listen to.
We humans where so lucky to have had his artistic genius at all.

An epic finale
With weird pop culture tie-ins and events that make use of bizarre "what if" scenarios. This is a fun adventure that will keep you entertained.

Not too bad
This instalment was better than the last two. Still could have done without the swearing.
