Boooooooooooooook!!!
So, I was browsing one of my local sells-everything-under-the-sun stores after a hard day at work and naturally gravitated towards the books section (as I do) and while wandering 'twixt the tomes, the text on the cover of one sprang out at me.
"Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" Intrigued, I drifted closer, expecting a re-print and wondering what title it was.
"Part six of three" WHUUUUTT???
IT'S A SEQUEL! A FRIGGIN SEQUEL! ANOTHER EPISODE! *bounces, cavorts, squees*
Apparently, to celebrate the Thirtieth Anniversary, they invited Eoin Colfer (author of the Artemis Fowl books) to pen a sixth installment called "And Another Thing"
He usually writes for children but says writing this is very similar to writing for young adults, apart from less useage of the phrases "it wasn't my fault" and "none of you people get me"
Anyway, of course I bought it. Halfway through now and it's not half bad. If you've read the originals (and if not, WHY?) you'll remember in the last book everyone was about to die. Of course, Colfer is forced to save them in a highly improbable, utterly inexplicable fashion that resurrects older, forgotten characters and not only plays merry hell with plot consistency but contradicts much of what has gone before in an attempt to make things fit.
In other words, it's perfect. :)
