Is it as good as Douglass Adams ' Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy ' #1-5?

Lo No. I thought books 2-5 had already lost the charm of the first one, but Colfer's imitation was just down-right cheap.…moreNo. I thought books 2-5 had already lost the charm of the first one, but Colfer's imitation was just down-right cheap.(less)

However, it doesn't stay true to the style, and Colfer adds way too much of his own touch, so I would say it's definitaly more of a fan-fiction than an actual part of the canon.

I'm an Eoin Colfer fan, but haven't read the rest of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (although I watched the first movie). Is this something I can read without reading the rest of the series? Or should I wait off until if and when I have read the first 5 books by the original author?

I haven’t read any other Colfer books but in this book he has written in the style of Douglas Adams and I’m not sure how close that resembles his usual work. Unfortunately I personally feel it’s the weakest of the hitchhikers books and I am not the only one. The whole series is definitely worth reading and they aren’t too long.
