yggie 's review for:
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
by Douglas Adams
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 All the computer science stuff is now rather outdated, but that makes it sort of cute. The time travel stuff was weird, but I don't think time travel can ever get outdated, because...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.
