OMFG, I'm AMAZED!

[Maestro]

The new Hitchiker's Guide by Eoin Colifer wasn't funny! Aren't you guys so surprised?!

Seriously though, this is exactly what I suspected, a total comedic flop.

NEW HITCHHICKER'S GUIDE?! WHAT? Who is responsible for this!?

 

[Maestro]

Eoin Colifer, the writer of the adolescent fiction series 'Artemis Fowl.'

That's about all he's done of note. Which explains the failtastic HHTTG 6.

I liked Artemis Fowl and I'm unfamiliar with THHGTG(?).

The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy is a fantasticly funny comedy sci-fi series. I highly recommend it.

As for Artemis Fowl: I read the first book. It was good, but nothing particularly great. It was an entertaining read and amusing at time but I don't think it made me laugh out loud once, and that's not a quality I'd want to see in a Hitchhicker's Guide book, all of which have caused me terrible embarasment as the sole person in a room in a fit of laughter.

I liked the Artemis Fowl series when I was younger (actually I still kind of like it, even though I've outgrown it a bit). Although Eoin Colfer isn't a brilliant writer, I've always found his books very entertaining and readable. Sometimes I prefer books that I don't have to think too much about. I felt pretty apathetic towards the Hitchhiker's Guide series, but I was probably too young to appreciate it when I read it. Maybe I'll read them all again and then read Colfer's sequal afterwards to see how it compares.
