This book reminds us what a great comic writer Douglas Adams was and shows us, unfortunately, that Eoin Colfer isn't. Most of the familiar names are there (although Marvin is sadly absent) but the characters aren't. Colfer gets Arthur partly right, but the other characters just don't ring true.
Adams' wit and insightfulness are replaced with labored attempts at humor that mainly misfire. As someone (probably) said about something - this book is both original and good. Unfortunately, the parts that are good are not original and the parts that are original...
