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.

This is an engrossing detective/sci-fi mash-up with plenty of humour thrown into the mix as well. The ending had me running to Google to figure it out but that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of this bizarre book.

This had some of Douglas Adam's wonderful sense of humor and his interesting plot twists, but overall I wasn't into the characters and it plodded something awful.
