This was really entertaining and a lot of fun to read.

pata's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Yo lo he intentado, pero de verdad que no puedo con el estilo de este señor. La narración es una tontería tras otra hasta el punto de que cuesta saber qué narices está queriendo decir que sucede (que la mitad de las veces es nada, porque se va de la tangente y empieza a hablar de estupideces que no vienen a cuento).

No intentaré otro libro suyo; si no puedo con este (con el cariño que le tengo a la serie de Dirk Gently), no voy a poder con ninguno. No más intentos para el autoestopista, se acabó el autor para mí. Me es insoportable y tampoco me voy a torturar.

Douglas Adams is always a good read, isn't he?

It seems that I had somehow never read this!
It's great, of course.

Entertaining, although I am certain parts of it went over my head.

I was initially quite distraught to find that this audiobook is abridged, and while honing my vexation to unleash upon some poor Audible representative, I decided to listen to a bit first. I went from "How dare they lessen something written by Douglas Adams!" to "Hey, Douglas Adams himself is narrating this!" in about thirty seconds, and then enjoyed myself immensely for next three hours. If you want a way to defuse your anger, have a lot of yard work to do in heat and humidity, or just want a great book full of really funny British humor read by DNA himself, then this is the book for you. I have personally tested it and it works amazingly well in each of these situations. I can't wait to mow the lawn tomorrow while listening to The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

“Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.” 

I'm quite convinced Adams was partaking of the same stuff as Coleridge when he wrote this book (and hhgttg for that matter)

Still, it was a fun little read.
