    Yes, I believe that DK has said that there will be no more, have you read Odd Interlude too? There's also a very short story focusing on how Odd and Stormy got their 'destiny' fortune card.

    They are all very good, he is a brilliant writer who captures his audience on page one of every book, his sense of humour is second to none and he uses that to draw you in! <ok>

    Very few films live up to the book in my experience, the only thing I've ever watched that completely matched my interpretation of the books was the Reggie Perrin series on tv! <ok>
