New Hitchhiker’s Guide book “not very funny”
An early review of part of the Eoin Colfer-penned sequel to Douglas Adams’ Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy series has panned the book as not being very funny.
Prolific British writer and comedian Adams tragically passed away in 2001 at he age of 49, leaving behind five immensely popular Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books (and a variety of other works in different media) that have kept readers laughing for many years.
However, on 17 September 2008, publisher Penguin announced it would publish a new book in the series, authorised by Adams’ widow Jane Belson and written by Colfer, author of the best-selling Artemis Fowl novels. The book, entitled “And Another Thing …” is scheduled to be published in October this year. But is it funny?
