Just as Arthur Dent's sense of reality is in its dickiest state he suddenly finds the girl of his dreams. He finds her in the last place in the Universe in which he would expect to find anything at all, but which 3,976,000,000 people will find oddly familiar. They go in search of God's Final Message to His Creation and, in a dramatic break with tradition, acutally find it. (back cover)

Review of 'So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Even during an nth re-read the biscuit scene made me laugh more than anything else I've read in a very long time.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is less fantastical, but tighter, than the previous couple of books. There's slightly less zany humour, but still buckets of it, and certainly far more romance. I enjoyed the book's focus on a single character rather than something on a galactic scale like the previous book.
