And Another Thing... by Eoin Colfer surprised me greatly. I had already had an appreciation for Colfer's writing from listening to a few of his Artemis Fowl stories and I've had a deep and abiding love of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, but I hadn't expected them to come together nearly as well they did. Colfer does an admirable job of capturing the spirit of the Hitchhiker's Guide without coming across as simply emulating the late Adams's style. Characters are portrayed well, the story fits along with what has come before, and the frequent interludes of exerpts from the Guide are as funny as ever. In several places I found myself laughing aloud with no regard to what the people around me must have thought, the hallmark of any of my experiences listening to the Hitchhiker's Guide. Simon Jones does an excellent job reading and having the voice of Arthur Dent from the radio and television series lends gravitas to the project. I heartily recommend it to fans of the series. Keep a towel handy.
