I liked this one also.

Yes, that's right. I also enjoyed this book. Once again, I didn't know what was going on at the beginning, but a bit into the book it all started to make sense. A lot of great funny moments in this one. I enjoyed every hour of reading I put into it (I'm a slow reader, but that just means I get to enjoy it longer :P). I'll definitely reread this one later on.

Bought it to complete my collection of Douglas Adams' and if you've been reading the rest, you'd know how good this'd be.

Brilliant, but what would you expect?

Only Douglas Adams could come up with sentences like, "He was deliberately and maliciously watching tv at him!"
I love both Dirk Gently books, but this one is better, and funnier. I still laugh out loud when I think of Kate's "alleged car". I was afraid I'd be disappointed, since I've been a fan of the Hitchhiker books for years, but these seem to be books for his more mature audience, as the jokes are a little more subtle.

...Not the same as Holistic Detective Agency
Rating  (3)
Date: 2008-04-11
This book is also definitely WAY OUT THERE. But I have to say, I did not find it quite as laugh-out-loud funny as its prequel, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I am almost finished with it (less than 50 pages to go and those will go quick), but it is VERY ODD! Still, it has many of the same classic Adams' techniques and it still quite funny.

He wrote some great stuff that wasn't Hitchhiker, too

He really got his non-Hitchhiker groove on here and wrote a thoroughly enjoyable, imaginative, and thought-provoking novel that will have you turning pages from start to finish. You don't even have to read the first Dirk Gently first if you don't want to. Just go grab this, dive in, and enjoy. I gave more words to the first one, but this one's better.
