« We must act now | Main | Get Your War On returns in cartoon form » Eoin Who?Douglas Adams' widow gave the ok for this children's writer Eoin Colfer to write the 6th book in the Hitchhiker's series. Colfer, 43, was a primary school teacher in Ireland before he secured the largest ever advance for a children's novel by an unknown author. I hate books written posthumously. Even if this guy is Douglas Adams good, it's more than likely he's still no Douglas Adams. Better he should stick to writing his own fantastic things than to latch on to someone else's coattails.

You know, what with them all blowing up on Earth when it was demolished, due to a time rift and such. Sounds kind of final to me. Adams himself said multiple times that he hated the ending to the last book and considered writing another. Keep in mind that that doesn't mean I think that this is a good idea. |
