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."

    Why Eoin Colfer? All of his books have been, meh. And what is with the general trend of taking classic, decent works and making crappy sequels? Its most evident in Hollywood (Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, all the half-hearted Disney made-for-DVD sequels of major works, etc), but now even books are?
