Sequelitis

Sometimes it works:

"Fans can put away the axes right now, because he has done a fine job." From the Times review of And Another Thing…Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Part Six of Three by Eoin Colfer.

Sometimes it doesn't:

"If Winnie the Pooh had been given to a panel to pastiche, David Benedictus's effort would have been a good contribution. But his sequel adds nothing significant…." From the Times review of Return to the Hundred Acre Wood.
