It's nice (although occasionally depressing) to be able to see how the animals are doing 15 years later - thanks for looking it up!<BR/><BR/>I've always been a Hitchhiker's fan, but I can understand how you could find it hard to get into. The silliness can be a bit aggressive at times. You might try listening to the radio series - I've always liked it a lot more than the book and the humor comes off a lot better when it's being conveyed by actors.Beth A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02695285857565526539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-9491051587937980622008-06-05T21:08:00.000-04:002008-06-05T21:08:00.000-04:00I had heard great things about this book, and Nyme...I had heard great things about this book, and Nymeth's review intrigued me, and now I give up - I absolutely must read it.

One older kakapo died earlier this year to put us down to 85, but then we had 7 new chicks hatched this year. Unfortunately one of those chicks died too, so by my reckoning we're currently on 91. <BR/><BR/>See my <A HREF="http://www.anotherchancetosee.com/2008/06/kakapo-chick-has-died.html" REL="nofollow">recent post</A> here.Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01016456671468216397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-42929436037829888842008-06-04T11:57:00.000-04:002008-06-04T11:57:00.000-04:00You hated Hitchhiker's?
