And Another Thing... by Eoin Colfer
4.0
This book is a nice addition to the original 5 part trilogy, regardless if it needed one, but it still has some pitfalls. First, Eoin Colfer's writing style is very different to Douglas Adams's, with long chapters that take place in multiple "scenes", and with the guide entries sprinkled around like endnotes except they're mid-page. I felt this was extra jarring and harder to set up places to stop reading. Also, a lot of the humor is based in being explicit or similarly disgusting, which I didn't enjoy. Plus, and not to spoil, but the end of the book is unsatisfactory. It would require a Hitchhiker's Guide 7, but that's not likely going to come into fruition. All around, I'm glad I have the full Hitchhiker's Guide experience, but this is not the best addition.
