Okay, everyone, it's time to grab your well-traveled towels, your bathrobes, and your handy-dandy Hitchhiker's Guide (in a new, handy, iPhone sized package, most likely)... And Another Thing is out, and as the website indicates, it's the sixth book in the trilogy (yes, you read that correctly, hence the joke with the web address).
I am mentioning this with a couple of points in mind. First, I loved the originals, when I first encountered them some 20 years ago now, and flew through the first four books in a series of trips to the local library. I don't remember reading the 5th one, that came out about the time I was getting out of high school. I haven't read them again in years, so I'm interested to see how this one carries on the story.
But I'm nervous, too, becuase it's not coming from Douglas Adams - it's coming from Eoin Colfer, and I have not read anything by him (yet). I'm concerned that it might be like trying to watch a reunion special for a favorite show, but the magic that happened when the show was fresh and new just isn't there. I really hope that won'tbe the case...
But at least I have a new excuse to think about going back to the local library, after I catch-up and reread the first books in the series.
