THGTTG should not be written by anyone who isn't Douglas Adams. Full stop. I had to try this as a completionist but if they release anything else in this world not somehow unearthed in Adams's files then I'll be passing.

Well, Eoin Colfer, you tried. Honestly I think that Colfer is a perfectly decent author, and I read [b:Artemis Fowl|249747|Artemis Fowl (Artemis Fowl, #1)|Eoin Colfer|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1327945104s/249747.jpg|1334778] and its sequels multiple times when I was a kid. But when you're trying so hard to emulate a great writer like Douglas Adams, you're bound to fall short in comparison. There were some perfectly witty moments in this book, but they all felt like somebody was trying too hard to land a punchline. It's not a totally worthless book, but you're safe stopping after book 5 (or even, in my humble opinion, after book 3!)

katzenkindliest's review against another edition
Nach langem hin und her habe ich nach etwa der Hälfte abgebrochen. Und dabei wollte ich das Buch so gerne mögen! Ich mag den Autor, ich mag die Anhalter-Reihe, ich mag auch den Humor im Buch. Und trotzdem...
Vielleicht war es einfach zu wenig Story und zu viele (mehr oder minder komische) abschweifende, weit ausholende Anmerkungen. Immerhin knapp über 200 Seiten habe ich durchgehalten, der erste Teil der Serie wäre damit jetzt schon beendet.
