I assume you're referring to the ending? Or Random? I never quite got her, and I did find it depressing at the end. However, it was a neat attempt to tie in Stavromula Beta, though, and ironically, it was a more-or-less perfect ending to the series, despite it being so down.

What non-Douglas-Adams leftovers?

As S. Snack mentioned. I'll probably get it eventually, but I've heard mixed reviews. It was constructed from a scouring of his hard drive, or somesuch.

It's so sad that he died.

Indeed, we lost one of the best sci-fi authors. I was praying he would release a 6th that would somehow untie things again.

By the way, another really good book of his is "Last Chance to See." It's a short non-fiction book he wrote about traveling around the world seeing endangered animals up close. Very moving, funny, and sad.

I'll check it out. I also agree with S. Snack's Dirk Gently reference. Mind you, the second one is beyond zany. It makes HHGG seem perfectly rational.
