A long time ago, I watched the hitchhiker’s movie, and I loved the concept of the movie and I wanted more. Years later, I came across this website taking about the books. I didn’t know that the movie came from a book series, so I was pretty excited. I read the first two books, and I ran back the same week to the library to borrow the rest, and I finished the series in two to three weeks but after that I wanted to read it again and again. I have to say when I hear that the author Douglas Adams died before writing his sixth book and someone else wrote it, I didn’t want to read it but I wanted a ending to the story. however, you had proven me wrong. Your book was amazing and it did the book series justice. It seems that all of my assumptions keep being proven wrong.

Please bring Fenchurch back and let Arthur live happily ever after. He has been like a soulmate to me over the last 20 odd years, and I would only die happy when he finds his true love again…

Although I was the last person who posted, I think I should have mentioned that, since Douglas Adams wanted the 6th book to have a happy ending, the series should not end unless it ends happily.

I really would like to see a 7th installment in the series because in my opinion, Arthur has to find Fenchurch. The series couldn’t possible be complete if he never finds her.

Wow. My head simultaneously combusted when I finished it. Then, with what was left of my head, I read it again.

You, dear sir, are one froody dude. You better be the one writing the seventh.

Eoin, I like everybody else here cherish the original HH books and I was somewhat apprehensive at the thought of anybody trying to continue where Douglas left off. Especially after the movie which was rather disappointing…
However , I have to say you absolutely nailed it !! The book is brilliant , the development of the characters and the story was fantastic and I am sure Douglas would have loved it himself.
I found myself grinning the whole way through – not just at the story but at the fact you had done a great job and the sheer delight of reading a new, “true” HH book.
I sincerely hope you continue and can’t wait for the next edition of this ever expanding trilogy.

You are indeed a froody dude.

And another thing……….OMG how good is that, i was left shocked by the earth being destroyed AGAIN!!!! at the end of mostly harmless, however the revival was fab. Not having Douglas Adams write the 6th book i was worried it would loose its appeal….oh how wrong was I, Eoin used Douglas Adams principles and then added those extra little touches. Douglas Adams would be very proud……. only question is, will there be a 7th book, and what the hell happened to fenchurch????

The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide was lent to me by a friend not to long ago. It was lent the week for school exams, and during a hecktic time involving extra-curriculars. Even so, I had it finished in 8 days. It changed my life. I now say random things or ideas from it to my friends, prompting strange looks, long descriptions and explainations, and even stranger looks. My sense of humor has broadend, and I notice myself occasionally contradicting what I think due to The Hickhiker’s Guide series. Either way, I really enjoyed the books. I also really enjoyed the Artemis Fowl series and The Supernaturalist. Your writing style is truly amazing Mr. Colfer, and I know that no matter what you write, the next instalment in The Hichhiker’s Guide will be fabulous. Have fun writing the book, and I can’t wait to read it.

[...] Eoin Colfer was a similar issue: Part 6 of the THHGTTG? You’ve got to be kidding! I loved the stories around Artemis Fowl but The Hitchhiker? Is Eoin out of his mind? Luckily, he asked himself the same questions. [...]
