Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Dramatised) Audiobook

" I love Douglas Adams and nothing in my life makes me happier then reading one of his books. This one is no different. Zen driving is a skill I am going to master. "

" I love D Adams, but this was boooooooooooooooring and not funny. Read Hitchhikers Guide. "

" Entertaining sci-fi mystery involving a missing cat, a ghost, and a time-traveler. A fun read. "

" An entertaining, but slightly bonkers book. I wasn't able to really get into it, as I found the story line a little tedious at times, and frankly a bit too absurd for my taste. Still, a good book for those interested in science-fiction, or absurdist humour. "

" Hilarious, Adam's twists the world into a wonderfully weird shape. "

" a fine exercise in humility for anyone inclined to take the ultimate interrelatedness of everything too seriously "

" Started a little slow, but by the end, up to the best that he had to offer with the Hitchhker's Guide books. Wish we could somehow set the time machine back a few years and get Doug a heart transplant or someithing so we'd still have him with us before the fixed the phones. "

" Dirk gently you crack me up :) "

" Loved it! I wish he'd lived to write a lot more of this series. "

" This book is a longstanding favorite which holds up admirably to re-reads. It's so full of quietly dropped references and understated humour that it feels like it practically changes itself around to suit your mood. It's almost a different story every time. "

" I wanted to like this, but I really didn't. There were some moments of good, but in the long run, I didn't think it was particularly enjoyable. Half the time I wasn't sure I had a clue what he was trying to communicate. "

" Another wonderful read by Douglas Adams. This book involves time travel, computers, ghosts, Bach and aliens, all woven together by Adams sarcastic story-telling and British humour. "

" 2 Stars. This was my first exposure to Dirk Gently, and I was not very impressed with the arc. The concept of a holistic detective is pure Adams - however I was just not captivated by the execution. "

" I found this ok, I had a few laughs at the start but after a while it didn't seem to be going anywhere and I just wanted to get to the end to see how it would resolve itself. No idea what Gordon Way's ghost had to do with anything. I did like it but I was not very impressed with it. "

" I really couldn't get into this the first time I tried it. I went back about a year later and absolutely loved it. "

" A funny, weird, and intriguing mystery. Adams' writing style is, as always, the star of the show, and though the characters are all pretty good, the story itself takes a backseat and kinda falls apart at the end. But it's still a very entertaining read. "

" I have read this book no less than ten times in my life, that's what I thought of it :) "

" hilarious and in my view better than "hitchikers..." (but i might be in the minority there...) "

" I'm apparently the only Douglas Adams nerd in the world who thinks so, but I like this one better than anything else he wrote. "

" Slower to get in to than any of the Hitchhiker's novels, but certainly wraps up quite fantastically. "

" Interesting and humorous. Was a little confused by the Electric Monk bit but caught on eventually. "

" A masterpiece entirely. Sheer brilliance. I'd quite forgotten how good Adams is. "

" One of my all time favorites. Especially the Electric Monk. Douglas Adams had the knack and I am sad that he is gone. "

" Less good than thee first of the series, but I think still more enjoyable than the first hhgttg. The end is a little muddled and slightly anticlimactic. "

" A lot of nonsense but somehow you can't really put the book down all the same. "

" It was alright. Kind of non-sensical, but not necessarily in a good way. "

" Whoo, excellent stuff. I decided my 42nd birthday was an apropos time to start re-reading Douglas Adams' stuff. "

" Douglas Adams is great. Not as good as The Hitchhiker's Guide but enjoyable all the same. "

" My work IS the couch impossibly situated in the stairwell. It gets referenced frequently in my museums (usually as we try to avoid it). "

" I couldn't believe this had been on my shelves for so long without me reading it! I love Douglas Adams, and I love the fact that this still made me giggle aloud almost as much as Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy did :-) "

" Eh. I was amused but not enthralled. [Feb. 2011] "
