"Listened to this in audio format, it was touching (esp the obituaries from Doug Adams' friends) and funny and interesting... I wouldn't recommend this to people who aren't familiar of Mr. Adams' other writing because it is a compilation of unfinished work. If you are unfamiliar with the style and context I think it would be rather disorienting (more-so than a normal Adams novel)"

    " Given that it is a compilation of unpublished, unfinished, and unknown works of Adams, it is ok. Not nearly as good as his other works, but the first 1st section was great. The 2nd was ok, and the 3rd, an unfinished manuscript for possibly another Dirk Gently or Hitchhikers Guide novel, was confusing. If you are a die hard fan of Adams, then read it, otherwise, it can be skipped. "

    " Tidbits from Douglas Adam's three macs and glorious stacks of papers are neatly compiled into this perfectly random tribute to his writing career. Stories include both fiction and non- Even Zaphod Beeblebrox makes another appearance. You'll laugh your arse off. "

    " This book literally changed my life. I can't say that about many books, so there you go. So long, DNA, and thanks for being so awesome someone figured a bunch of crap from your hard drive was worth publishing because it changed my life for the better. "

    " My only complaint about this is that it's mostly just articles/letters/etc written by Adams. The unfinished novel is only 100 pages or less. Some of the articles are hysterical, others are tedious, but it's definitely worth reading if you're a fan. "

    " An amalgamation of stories, articles, and other selected writings of Douglas Adams. A great window into the life and work of this iconic writer. Contains a version of his final, unfinished novel which would have been the third in the Dirk Gently serious. "

    " Snippets and interviews and notes and a partial book. Warm, insightful, hilarious and ending too abruptly, like Adams' life. "

    " Obviously, not being a complete book, this leaves you wishing there was more, much more. Obviously this is not going to happen, but I still enjoyed reading this, if only to see where Douglas Adams was heading when he died. Such a great talent, such a great loss. "

    " Although I love Douglas Adams' style and have enjoyed most of his other books, I didn't like this one as much as the previous ones. But maybe it has to do with the fact that he had already passed away when I read it, and it felt sad. "
