New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny"

Posted by timothy on from the trying-to-meet-a-high-standard dept.

daria42 writes "An early review of part of the Eoin Colfer-penned sequel to Douglas Adams's Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series has panned the book as not being very funny. If you read Hitchhiker to have a good laugh, maybe you're going to be disappointed," wrote Nicolas Botti, on his Douglas Adams fan site earlier this month."

    Bull. It was the best in the series. The lense flares were overused but that does not invalidate it was a very well crafted movie.

    I prefer to pretend Monstrous Regiment never existed. The only reason that ending wasn't predictable was because I expected Pratchett to be better than that.

    You are aware that the correct spelling is "fetus"? "Foetus" would be derived from the Latin for "stench" - which tends to be a post-partum phenomenon!
