And Another Thing: Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is written by Eoin Colfer and is Part Six of this best-selling sci-fi fantasy audiobook series narrated by captivating English actor Simon Jones. The woes of Arthur Dent continue as he endures his impossible search for a cup of tea. He’s tossed back and forth through space with only a terribly depressed alien for company. Dent’s wild adventures are coupled with an unending search for the meaning of life off Earth as the planet he longs for is destroyed, then replaced, then destroyed again. Available now from Audible.
Summary
An Englishman's continuing search through space and time for a decent cup of tea . . . Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has not been entirely without incident. Arthur has travelled the length, breadth and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forwards and backwards through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released and colourfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And, of course, he has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
Arthur has, though, finally made it home to Earth. But that does not mean he has escaped his fate. For Arthur's chances of getting his hands on a decent cuppa are evaporating along with the world's oceans. Because no sooner has he arrived than he finds out that Earth is about to be blown up...again.
And Another Thing...by Eoin Colfer is the rather unexpected, but very welcome, sixth instalment of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. It features a pantheon of unemployed gods, everyone's favourite renegade Galactic President, a lovestruck green alien, an irritating computer and at least one very large slab of cheese.

Entertaining, but...
I'm only through part one so far, and it seems good. One thing that grates on me though is the narrators portrayal of zaphod, which seems to rely on saying word after word in the same monotone with awkward spacing. On the whole a very entertaining book displaying the same flair and wit of the originals.

A love letter (with jokes, doodles, and tea cup rings) to the originals
I think that this was more than enough for any Adams fan. And if it had been penned by Adams it would have been loved by all. But for some the man was the books and they have not been able to see this for what it is.. a really good book with more details and more escapades and more galaxy to hitchhike.
Characters we know and loved were there, though I found Trillion quite unlike the Trillion of old. But we also had
the brilliant fleshing out of Random Dent, a cynical and hardened galactic president with a string of academic degrees and political savvy… inside a moody teenage girl. (The joy was how often the two personalities were in natural accord.)
If you want to like this book then you will. There’s more than enough to like. If you need to think is written by Adams in order to like it.. then do that. You will be pleased to spend time with his characters and find some new ones. And if you KNOW that this is NEVER going to be anything like as good as ADAMS .. well, why waste your time? You won’t let yourself like it. In which case save your money and by a different book.

If only Douglas Adams could read it...then it would be perfect. Hence the 3 stars on performance

You need to be a fan already
Eoin Colfer has captured the feel of the original hitchhiker books perfectly. It was great to hear it narrated by Peter Jones, really took me back. Douglas Adams fans should love it but I suspect if would be fairly meaningless for anyone coming to hitchhiker for the first time.

Amazing!
I truly am a die hard Douglas fan and although this book was technically written be Eoin Colfer you can rarely tell the difference. The off beat humour and eccentric characters are the same as ever and actually made me laugh out loud often such as I have come to expect from this series, it really is a fantastic addition to the trilogy.

Hmmm...
Not quite as good as the others, still enjoed it but on occasions my brain kept wondering off in slight boredom, so had to keep rewinding.

No Douglas Adams
If you're expecting a continuation af Adams's work you'll be disappointed. To many english expletives that just don't fit in the guide. The storey does follow the usually guides format of berwildereng coinsidince and general bizarre goings on and on the whole the storey was entertaining.
Simon Jones's reading was great and he made the whole thing worth listening to.

It's not Adams but.........
I laughed out loud as much as I did with the original "trilogy".
Thankfully I listened to Simon Jones narration and was totally sold on this being a legitimate continuation of the hitchhiker story.
Well done Mr Colfer.
