In the book there is the "incomplete" story that Adams was working on at the time. Fry did not write anything but the foreword. The entire book is all Adam's work, both complete and incomplete.(December 5, 2008 at 2:32 pm)Tiberius Wrote: Why do you think that? It was a great book and it's a great tribute to the man.
Hmmm ... this is quite difficult to express. I know (and greatly respect) Stephen Fry as a comedian, actor and author but SoD was Adams last book, never completed and I strongly feel that is the way it should have been left because Fry had to make decisions about the work that Adams may never have done which means it is no longer Adams and, if I'm brutally honest, to me it feels like Adams work has been violated.
I'd have preferred them to have published it as it was, unfinished.
Kyu
I think you've had a gross misunderstanding of the content of the book, so I really encourage you to read it!
