Love Hitchiking
Hitchhiker is just plain fun. I loved the series when i was young. I read it in college, and again in Med school, and again when i started reading for pleasure again, and now I am going to listen to them all.
I cannot wait. I just wish Douglas was alive for more, but I am about to read Coffer's installment (or try) for a 6th book in the series.

Feels incomplete.
Normally all the books are great. This one felt like there were so many things left unfinished, and a very important character just gets forgotten about. It's his last book before he died so I'm not going to falt the author for it. Maybe the editors fault or it was just incomplete. The book does bring a new important character into the mix and also sets it up well for the last book. Though the last book is written by another author, it's done very well. Don't just end the story on the not this book leaves or the book before this one leaves. It's worth following through till the end.
