Of all the big books announced for this year, this one must have raised more eyebrows than many. Why try and write a new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, when way before the end, its creator Douglas Adams was proving quite hopeless at such a task? And why approach an Irishman, Eoin Colfer, when the originals - tempered with their humour which could only be described as Monty Python doing a sci-fi Terry Pratchett, and with their cups of tea and dressing gowns, could only be described as very English? Well the answer is most evident - Colfer is a world-beater when it comes to knocking up a story.
There are hosts of people writing genre fiction comedically we can recommend. Pick your own from the crop of [[:Category:Christopher Moore|Christopher Moore]], the aforementioned [[:Category:Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett]] or [[:Category:Tom Holt|Tom Holt]] for starters.
