Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (Dramatised) Audiobook

" Re-read this, er...relistened to this for the first time in a while. I think this is my favorite Douglas Adams, actually. I know its heresy to say that you like something more than Hitchhikers, but this is really such a perfect little dark warped jewel of a book. Plus the audio version is read by Adams himself, which makes it extra great to listen to. "

" Adams is highly amusing. I am now finished with all of his books. It is a little sad. They were amusing and distracting in my transitional time. I highly recommend Adams for anyone who needs a reprieve from life. There are infinite probabilities... "

" While enjoyable in the end, this book should have been titled 'Kind of Slow on the Uptake and Very Very Likely to Confuse the Hell out of You Until the Final 80 Pages.' My number one complaint, aside from the slowness and it's confusion inducing properties, is that the main characters don't have much in the way of interaction. "

" Great, if you liked the Hitchhiker's series, you will like this. This time not only do we get to enjoy the humor that brought to us the hitchhikers guide to the universe, but also a quirky, weird but intriguing mystery! "

" Thor, rock music, Odin in a nursing home, a lorry driver who's also a minor rain god. It's all kind of weirdly funny and well, I like that and Adams combined. "

" How does one "dirk gently"? I recall amusing myself with that thought when I read the jacket blurb. Needless to say, previous to this novel, Dirk and I were not acquainted. Although I enjoyed this book, I wasn't intrigued enough to pursue Detective Gently through another tale. "

" It was okay. Funny in the way Adams is, but not his best storyline. "

" Lesser known book by the humorous sci-fi great, but to me, one of his best. "

" I don't know where mr. Adams got the idea to end the Dirk Gently in such an abrupt, and quite frankly unsatisfying manner, but he did. And somehow it still works. These books are irreverent, charming, and hilarious. The only bad thing I can say about this book is that there will be no more. "

" too weird...a string of non sequiturious events somehow all interconnect and lead to a resolution "

" I enjoyed it more than #1. Life can be tough, even for gods. "

" Reasonably entertaining, but nothing to write home about. "

" After reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, continue on to this delightful, short read. "

" i ordered this along with the first book and they were both good if you are a douglas adams fan. great reads "

" As the second book in the series of Dirk Gently detective stories it is the worst entry point to Douglas Adams. The legendary and fun galaxy trilogy in five books behind me, I can say it is not worth to pick up. Try all the others first. "

" Okay. Not as good as the others. "

" I recently re-read this and I have to say it hasn't held up well. I think the explosion of adult fantasy/urban fantasy and detective mash-ups has pushed the quality forward, leaving this progenitor behind. "

" I'd forgotten that the denouement is a bit sudden. I think this book speaks to me more now I'm an adult than it did when I was a teenager. At the time I was probably just disappointed about a Douglas Adams book without all my favourite HHG2G characters in it. "

" Typical Adams. It has the same style as the previous book about Dirk Gently. The wording itself can get really complicated, which makes it funny. I like how Nordic gods have been included. Lots of mystery and impossible events. "

" Funny, good escape...had to figure out Norse mythology "

" A charming story of what happens when the gods of Wallhala end up on earth because nobody believes in them any more. Very amusing. "

" Although it was 20+ years ago, and I liked it enough to keep a copy, I remember being mostly non-plussed by this sequel. Even reading the back cover summary now, I really can't remember that much about it. Maybe worth a re-read if I give the first one another go. "

" Kun muistaa, mihin Adams parhaimmillaan kykeni, oli tämä pieni pettymys, varsinkin kun odotti täydellisyyttä. "

" Though nothing quite matches the brilliance and enjoyment of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I recommend highly this book. As always Douglas Adams delivers a unique, quirky tale that had me laughing out loud at some moments and smiling to myself at its cleverness at others. "

" Just great. If you enjoyed the Hitchhiker's series you'll enjoy these too. Great British humor. "

" I really liked it, but I didn't understand the end. It may be that I was skimming parts that I shouldn't have. "

" The humor is just so random and from out of nowhere, it's great. "
