Doug Adams has a new book out (*So Long, and Thanks for all the fish*, $10.95, hardcover, same-publisher-as-the-last-ones). My personal opinion: it's ok. It isn't OK, it's just ok. It's as funny as the first three, and has new characters and new people (you see, Dent and his life on earth *after* the Vogons blew it up is the topic for this new book ... I won't tell you how the earth got put back together ... and it wasn't Humpty Dumpty, either), but it seems to lack somethingthat the other books had Of course, HHGTTG *is* a hard act to follow... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Henry C.
