Book Reviews of And Another Thing...
Book Review: A perfectly fine, and even funny, book, but why does it exist?
Summary: 4 Stars
There really aren't any unresolved questions from Douglas Adam's writing. And it's not as if there was a torrent of shouts from the streets for more stories of Arthur Dent. We loved the inventive language, the bizarreness of settings, and the surrealist free-for-all of Adam's writing. And this book? It's fine, funny, and has many of Adam's signature turns of phrase in it. And it has more Arthur adventures, and more rewriting of Earth's history in the universe. And it's fun to read.
But there's really no point. Eoin Colfer is a good writer. He should write his own humorous science fiction book. Sure, everyone will compare it to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but at least it'll be his own work. His own worlds and his own jokes. No need for this book to go back over the same territory again.
Maybe book seven of the HHGTTG will be a reboot, a la Battlestar Galactica. Sexy Vogons, a sociopathic Arthur, and a do-gooded Zaphod. That would turn things around for the reader.
