*****
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is the fourth installment in Douglas Adams' bestselling cult classic, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 'trilogy'.
There is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. It's not an easy thing to do and Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this nifty little trick - until he meets Fenchurch, the girl of his dreams.
Fenchurch knows how the world could be made a good and happy place. Unfortunately, she's forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies within God's Final Message to His Creation they go in search of it.
And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it . . .
Follow Arthur Dent's galactic (mis)adventures in the last of the 'trilogy of five', Mostly Harmless.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius -- <b>David Walliams</b> Dazzlingly inventive -- <b>Caitlin Moran</b> Fizzing with ideas . . . Brilliant -- <b>Charlie Brooker</b> It changed my whole life. It's literally out of this world -- <b>Tom Baker</b> Really entertaining and fun -- <b>Michael Palin</b> Hitchhiker's is packed with that unique energy, all barmy and bristling and bold. This book can be witty, iconoclastic, godless, savage, sweet, surreal, but above all, it dares to be silly. Fiercely, beautifully silly -- <b>Russell T. Davies, writer and producer of <i>Doctor Who</i></b> He had almost a Wodehousian style and some of his phrases and jokes entered our language. He changed the way people spoke -- <b>Stephen Fry</b> There has never been another writer remotely like Douglas Adams. He discovered a completely new genre - scientific wit - and having discovered it he raised it to dizzying heights -- <b>Tony Robinson</b> Quite good I suppose, if you like brilliantly entertaining books written with a touch of imaginative genius -- <b>Griff Rhys Jones</b> Very occasionally a book comes along that changes the way you laugh and what you laugh about -- <b>Richard Dawkins</b> One of the world's sanest, smartest, kindest, funniest voices * Independent on Sunday * Magical . . . read this book * Sunday Express * Sheer delight * The Times *
