Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Abridged) Audiobook

" This is a chopped up version of the book. If you were disappointed, read the full book. It is so much better than this. It’s my favorite book of his and after listening to the 3 hour version of the audiobook instead of the 6.5 hour version that doesn’t seem to exist anymore.... I was extremely disappointed. "

" I loved the HHGTTG series but this book was a bit too disjointed for me. "

" After reading andother Adams book I was looking forwards to this. Sorry it didn't emthrall me, wont be reading the sequel. "

" I actually expected this book to resemble a real detective novel. I also didn't expect ghosts in it. I thought time travel would be enough. It might be because what I got was so different from what I expected but I just thought that this book was a complete mess and even when Adams is at his best, his writing is pretty thin. "

" My favorite Douglas Adams book. And I've read them all! The story is completely engrossing and will have you laughing out loud. "

" A good read and one that I have gone back to on occasion. It's not Hitchhiker but it is a good read in it's own right. "

" Douglas Adams has a special place in my heart. This book is just as clever and witty and fun as you would expect an Adams novel to be. "

" I think you actually have to LIKE Coleridge to enjoy this book... "

" um...so I love Douglas Adams...maybe i was just distracted as I read this...but it was very hard to follow and nonsensical in a bad way. "

" bits of this story need way more credit than generated by anyone I ever knew who'd read it. "

" This book isn't quite as good as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I still enjoyed it. It's sci-fi, it's mystery, it's comedy, and it's a ghost story all in one. It's also got an Electric Monk and a bathroom with a horse inside. This is a must-read for any Douglas Adams fan. "

" While this book is not quite a 4, its more than a 3 and I am feeling biased and generous due to my adoration for the BBC series "Dirk Gently." This is a smart, quirky and humorous book, my husband and daughter have already read and enjoyed this book as well. "

" Not a good as hitchhiker but how do you follow that anyway? "

" Read it years ago - reread and enjoyed. "

" It's Douglas Adams - nonsensical, hysterically funny with a surprise ending. There's little more to add. "

" Okay, if you want SUREAL this is the book! This and it's sequeal, Long Dark Teatime of the Soul. This is Douglas Adams at his most random and silly. "

" Another wonderful story from Adams. Gently is a fabulous character and this was a great read. "

" I could not stop laughing. "

" Douglas Adams can do no wrong. Which was already suspected. "

" Not a bad book but I honestly didn't remember that I had read it until I saw the title. "

" Brilliantly bizarre tale involving a computer programmer, ghosts, the British university system, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, time, engagements, and that witty man against whom fate has set herself by making all his guesses right, Dirk Gently. "

" 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] "
