If anybody is interested in listening to the first chapter of the new Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy book, you can listen to it here.
Douglas Adams is obviously no more, so he’s been replaced at the helm by Eoin Colfer. I’ve listened to the first couple of instalments, and it is abridged but I’m still not convinced. Having said that, the later books by Adams himself weren’t entirely brilliant.
Give it a listen, see what you think. I for one am hoping that when M’laddo is a bit older he’ll become enough of a spanner to know and love nerdish science fiction like the original Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
