Advantages: There's a funny scene with Ford Prefect

Disadvantages: Most of the book lacks Ford AND humour.

The title is the last message the dolphins [the second most intelligent
species on Earth after the Mice] sent to the humans before Earth was destroyed.

Arthur Dent returns, not just to the series but also to a small blue-green planmet somewhere in the western arm of the milky way. Because of the mice, you see. If you haven't read the first 3 books in the series this won't make much sense, so there's no point in buying the book.

Ford Prefect has a small part in the story, and the only scene which is really funny. Marvin appears just long enough to be written out, but Zaphod and Trillian are nowhere to be seen. This pretty much sums the book up - it's not at all worthy to sit on a bookshelf beside "Life, the Universe and Everything".
