Will Linden (USA: NY) (2010/03/29): This imitation should be fed to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast!
Marianne (Australia) (2010/04/01): No, it's not Douglas Adams (although bits of it very likely are), after all, he (sadly) died in 2001. It's Eoin Colfer, doing his best to be true to Douglas Adams' style, bringing our favourite H2G2 characters back to us for another episode, trying to put a little something into the awful vacuum that Adams' death created. Was it worth buying and reading? I certainly think so. I enjoyed it, perhaps not as much as the first ones, but I liked it. For me, it'll be a keeper. Would I buy volume seven of the trilogy if Colfer wrote it? Sure. Although I think I'd like Terry Pratchett to have a go.......... I'll definitely be reading all six again. Victor (USA: TX) (2011/12/31): I thought volume 5 did its best to close the door finally and definitively on the whole Hitchhiker thing. Accordingly, Colfer is having to jump through incredible (literally) hoops to get the story started again. Whoever thought that this was a good idea? There are some decent passages, but too much is derivative, and on the whole pointless.
