So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

4.0 out of 5, from 1,122 ratings from Hardcover readers

After years drifting through the galaxy, Arthur Dent finds his way home to an oddly ordinary life, and to a love story he never planned. It is the quietest and most romantic Hitchhiker's book, still full of dry jokes.
