hurray, we may still get to find out the answer to life, the universe, and everything, well at least a better answer than "42"! I like the Artemis Fowl books and think Colfer is a great, imaginative author

Thanks for the update. First got interested in Doug Adams when my local PBS radio ran the BBC series (no, I wont say how long ago that was). I'll have to re-read the series to be ready for the sequel

You'd almost think that awful movie would have wrecked the entire franchise.

I have no problem with Hitchhiker series but.....
The film was disappointment however for adults as aimed at kids. May someone explain the story of the book to me more. That would be appreciated.

Thanks eevee,

I look forward to this new volume. I didn't see the movie because I didn't want to ruin the images I have in my head from the books, radio and TV series as well. Here's a short interview with author Eoin Colfer from NPR. Click on Listen Now
