Oh, “And Another Thing”? I didn’t enjoy that at all. It was like a rehash of old jokes and I felt the author was barely familiar with the previous work. I remember coming across one rehashed joke they clearly hadn’t understood completely. Can’t remember the details, though.
As far as I know, Eoin Colfer was always very fond of the work of Douglas Adams. Jane Belson, the widow of Adams, supported the last novel being written by Colfer. The book does not have the same drive at all times, but it is a fairly alright last chapter to an epic and bonkers saga. Colfer had some very big shoes to fill here and I think he did a solid job.
Personally, I liked the first 4 books best. Starship Titanic is quite funny, too. My all time favourite book of Douglas Adams is Last chance to see, though. :)
I am reading the 6th Hitchhiker’s book (sadly by a different author than Douglas Adams).
RIP
Is the book any good? I’ve read the first three many years ago
the 4th and 5th books are good, you should try them.
I haven’t read the sixth
So far I can’t complain. :)
