seano 's review for:
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
by Douglas Adams
The vastly superior first book of the Dirk Gently series is a rather interesting 1980s England period romp through space-time. In that sense, it's rather like a missing Doctor Who episode, right down to the oddball timelord.
Douglas Adams is an acquired taste, but if you enjoy "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" there's a good chance you will like this witty, nerdy story of a couple of Ghosts, a Holistic Detective, an Electric Monk and his horse, and a gangly computer nerd who basically goes around the novel goggle-eyed and Incomprehending.
Sadly. If you loved this book, you might be tempted to read the second book in the series. I found it to be much worse, without the charm or even attempted plot of the first. Ah well, at least lightning struck once.
Recommended for Adams fans, Doctor Who fans, and nerds of a certain age.
