A review by spjuver
The Dirk Gently Omnibus by Douglas Adams

3.0

Now I know why you never hear as much about Dirk Gently as you do of Arthur Dent. These two books were kind of fun and smart in the Douglas Adams-way but the stories never really took off. The twists were too sudden and the endings a bit too deus ex machinae. When there is time-traveling and Gods in the mix there are not many restrictions to what you can do with the story, but I think that it would have been wise not to let those things completely overrule the gist of the story. Adams is a fantastic storyteller and it feels like this fact gets obscured by all the disorder in Dirk Gentlys crazed realities.
