Just as awesome as all other Douglas Adams (that's a hell of a lot of awesome!)

I think my audiobook is missing the last couple of chapters. So really enjoying it but I don't think I got the ending. I will need to dig out a paper copy I am sure we have around here somewhere...

I'd love to figure out how the boy in the attic fit into the story.

I think I'm the only person who prefers the sequel to the original, but Douglas Adams playing with Norse Mythology is superior even to Neil Gaiman playing with Norse Mythology.

Sad to say this is the first Douglas Adams book I did not enjoy. It felt rushed, everything happening too fast and without giving the reader time to care about any of 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.

Amusing, but I think I preferred the first Dirk Gently book more. I did enjoy how almost everything mentioned ended up having some significance later in the book.
