Eoin Colfer writes a decent addition to Douglas Adam's legendary five book trilogy in 'And Another Thing...' While Colfer is a masterful writer, I continuously felt I was reading a spin off addition, not a genuine addition. While this is of course the case, Colfer begins his book right where Adam finished, meaning that this continuation should be, well, a continuation. However, I felt that instead of that happening, 'And Another Thing...' was more of a fanfiction using Adam's characters, with the constant references to previous books, endless and lengthy references, and the unnecessarily serious romance. I think Adam ended his series on a perfect note, and Colfer proved just that. However, Colfer did add some nice touches, like giving characters that were only touched upon briefly a meaningful backstory, and bringing back old time buddies. If you read Douglas Adam's series and you're dying to know more and rather the whole gang didn't perish so soon, then I'd read this book. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so keen on making a hold on it.
