From NLP to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. What could be a more beautiful transition?
I can’t actually remember if I’ve ever read ‘The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’. But I loved the TV series. Hated the film though. So Eoin Colfer’s follow up, for the 30th anniversary, was a ‘must read’ for me.
Did I like it? Yes. Is it a great book? I’m not sure. I think Colfer suffers from the fact that he is emulating someone else’s originality. However, he seems to do that pretty well. It did take me a while to get into the book, just because frankly, it is a bit strange. But once my brain adapted, I found the story an easy and enjoyable read. The characters came back to life and it all just seemed to make sense. You have to know Douglas Adams’ work though, otherwise you really will be freaked out.
