I don't know if anyone could do the series justice!. He does however seem to be a good choice if anyone was going to do it, although I thought the movie was a good idea until I watched it!. I'm hopeful, but I won'e be holding my breath!.

What I wonder is if he will incorporate what Adam's started when he wrote the first part of the Salmon of Doubt and started melding his two serieses together!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do hope you are joking!.

Why must everything have an unecessary sequel!? People are always so keen to spoil something that is already perfect!. Just because someone didn't find the ending to 'Mostly Harmless' satisfactory, it doesn't give them the right to commission a sixth book to be written!. I absolutely wouldn't read it!. The HHGTTG series is brilliant and shouldn't be ruined by some overly-modern university graduate who thinks they are looking to the future with this foolish idea!. Frankly, I'm digusted!.

It's hard to imagine that series being written by anyone beside Adams!.!.!. I suppose we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best! I would give it a chance!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I will read it!. I think DA would be okay with Mr!. Colfer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
