But then, if people who liked Adams think it's good, maybe I'll give it a try.

I do think Colfer matches Adams' wit & whimsy. I'm about half-way through - and laughing out loud.
I share your disappointment with other attempts to continue a dead author's series, but this one IMHO hits the mark. I'm hooked. Give it a try!
