Publisher's Summary

Just keep laughing and nobody will get hurt! Author Douglas Adams kidnapped an audience and held them hostage for 90 minutes at London's Almeida Theatre. The audience members were subjected to extremely hot August temperatures and Adams's dramatic solo performances of excerpts and scenes from his wildly funny, wildly popular books The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and Life, the Universe and Everything. LEARN how to fly! HEAR about Arthur and the Irrational Sofa! GROAN at Marvin's escapade with the Frogstar Battle Robot! Adams may have a cult following, but it's the happiest cult around, thanks to his inventive, absurd, and impish humor which comes through fully in this release.
Listen to the rest of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy."

VERY FUNNY! Excellent performance by the author. Too short but worthwhile.

I’ve never known of Douglas Adams in his lifetime but I miss him nevertheless. I’ve read all his books twice and will read them again.

This is a live show, not a full book, just excepts from the book, for about an hour. But his performance is greater than any actors. AND FUNNY.

Narrator is really annoying

This is a live reading of the book, and I found the readers mannerisms and his side comments to be distracting and took away from the story. Would not recommend.
