The Salmon of Doubt

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Books
Genre:	Literature & Fiction
Author:	Douglas Adams

This is a kind of sad book to read when you think that this talented man died at just 49 (I know if would have been funnier if he died at 42). Hitchhikers was his biggest work, but he wrote a lot more in fiction and about technology and conservation.

This book is a collection of his writings, some pulled from his PC (well, Mac) after he died. I reckon he and I had a lot in common and I would love to have met him.

The book ends with the Dirk Gently novel he was writing when he died. It's only part of the story and just ends when it is getting interesting. We'll never know how it was going to turn out, although I have an idea about what would crop up later.

I intend to check out the new HHGTTG film soon, although the clips I've seen indicate it has lost some of the charm of the radio/TV series and books.
