Sometimes I wonder if this is even funnier than The Hitchhiker's Guide.

I enjoyed hitchhikers guide quite a bit more than this, not to say Dirk Gentlys is not worth a read. Still clever, funny, and unique - just felt Hitchhikers was better.

Douglas Adams é um autor que sempre dá muito gosto ler. A fluidez de texto e a forma viva como se empenha a descrever as coisas é maravilhoso. Dirk Gently está longe do convencional detetivo britânico. Ele é ácido, ele é irreverente e indisciplinado e ele só aparece na metade do livro. A primeira metade é um completo caos, onde o leitor reúne uma miscelânea de informações e tenta montar uma história que só faz sentido de fato no final do livro. A história é maravilhosa, a coisa mais distante que o autor publicou de "O guia do mochileiro das galáxias" mas que ainda sim se permite colocar referências sutis ao longo da narrativa.
