This one really goes off the rails. I wish Adams had more time to write a proper finale to the series, because even though I like Eoin Colfer, I don’t consider “And Another Thing” part of the main series. It’s incredibly hard to replicate Douglas Adams’ work, and while this is probably my least favorite of the series, it still holds a place in my heart for being the last true HGTTG book.

Okay, I know people criticize this one a lot but it isn' that bad. I actuall enjoyed it a lot. There are some elements such as Arthur's daughter which I didn't vibe with much. However, the rest is quite good. I liked Arthur's sandwich guy time and the time spent on Trillian. As a whole, the novel ends bittersweet, which I think fits the series.

I said many more sections, it was off and very confusing (intentionally so). Very anti-climatic ending story when Earth is again destroyed by Vogons, with Ford, Arthur and Trillion seem to die with.
