Quote:
Fortsetzungen sind das Grab der Fantasie. Große Bücher bleiben stets Solitäre, deren Fortsetzung wir uns nur selber erfinden können. (Jörg Schiffmann in LN)
Sequels are the grave of imagination. Great books remain solitaires whose sequel we can only fabricate ourselves. (my translation)

This memorable statement was the conclusion of a newspaper's book review of Eoin Colfer's sequel to Douglas Adams'
Hitchhiker's Guide books.
