So according to the guide Earth is a mostly harmless planet. Thats just it.
And Arthur found a nice Earth that looks like Earth. So he settles down.

This is the end of Arthur's adventures.
It's just that. The end.
It's a nice ending even if things don't end in the best way possible... ( )

Ending was brilliant but also kind of foul. But a fitting end to the trilogy

Edit: nvm 5 stars this was really well put together ( )

This book... is a disappointment. Which is hard to admit from a series that has made me laugh so hard for three books straight. Its a bleek book that feels like the author throwing his hands in the air and letting it all fall apart. And, from what I read, Douglas Adams was also not a fan of this one.
Sad. Just sad all around. ( )

I'm very happy I listened to this series, Martin Freeman was absolutely fantastic. This might be the worst book of the series, but I enjoyed it very much anyway! ( )

Epigraph
Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

First words
The history of the Galaxy has got a little muddled, for a number of reasons: partly because those who are trying to keep track of it have got a little muddled, but also because some very muddling things have been happening anyway.
