Douglas Adams spins a tale of a detective's case that involves aliens, ghosts, electronic monks, time travel, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. It's also very funny. The story originated with a plot Adams wrote for Doctor Who as well as his own experiences at Cambridge but evolved into something that defies expectation. I enjoyed this book very much but I think I'm going to have to read it again to pick up on all the details. ( ) This book was such a wild ride I’m still not sure what to think of it. The ending confused me so I looked the references up, and after that I loved it. I’ve decided I will not only read a Douglas Adams book, because they are such hard reads that don’t hook me fast enough. I ended up in a book slump (not reading cause i did in fact keep reading for months, just no the book) I read this book because I watched the series. I really liked the series. The only thing the book and the series had in common were a character called Dirk Gently (but this is a completely different character than in the series), the fact that he had a Holistic Detective Agency (but that means something else in the book than in the series) and the title. That's it. There were some interesting things in this book. It wasn't bad. It was just.. so entirely not what I expected. There sure was a LOT going on. All the computer science stuff is now rather outdated, but that makes it sort of cute. The time travel stuff was weird, but I don't think time travel can ever get outdated, because... well. I felt bad for the horse. Won't read again, won't read the sequels - but I should pick up HHGttG again one of these days. I'd already seen both tv shows on this before reading the book, although I usually do it the other way around. I enjoyed both shows and the book, although they're all quite different. this has the same sort of humour as the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, although this possibly has a bit more emotional weight or something along those lines. i liked the characters, and i think dirk gently is actually quite a relatable character in some ways, maybe. this was fairly philosophical possibly, and it had a strange theme or motif or symbol or something of telephones, although im not quite sure what it was trying to say about them. it was funny and interesting and i enjoyed it as much as the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy books, if not more. I didn't fully understand all the references but i think i understood most of the plot, at least in general terms. this also seems to have elements similar to the doctor who story city of death which was also written by adams, and this even has an long lived time-traveller in it sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
