Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to fans of Adams's other works. Its unique blend of humor, mystery, and science fiction, combined with its eccentric characters, makes it a memorable and entertaining read. It is a book that rewards rereading, as new connections and layers of meaning can be discovered each time. The novel ends with the promise of a sequel.

Finished my last book for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge hosted by @RaeLovesToRead !

I laughed out loud quite a bit reading this book. It is a bit mind-boggling involving ghosts, time travel and “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”. Adams‘ love of computer science also figures in the plot. Lots of fun.

It's probably more a result of a a cozy rainy Sunday after a busy Friday and Saturday, but I found myself nodding off repeatedly while reading this. There was a plot, not too much nonsense, and some sharp satire about faith without reason...I can deal with a con man that is relatively harmless or possibly psychic, I can get into a computer programmer who likes mapping the world in music, 1/?

How to narrow the answers to these questions? 🤯🫠
1. Maybe some characters from The Neverending Story by Michael Ende?
Xayíde, Ygramul the Many, Atréyu, Bastian Bathazar Bux, Carl Conrad Coreander, Grograman etc. have maybe had the greatest impact.
Fantasy seems to be the best & neverending source for weird names... 😄
2. The tagged one, among so many other options...

Great fun but impossible to summarise without spoilers.Although it is unrelated to H2G2, they are noticeably akin.

I think I can definitively say I've “outgrown“ Adams's humor. There is a lot to like in this especially if the slightly absurd is your cup of tea but for me this was a little underwhelming. I didn't hate my time with this but I also didn't think it was laugh out loud funny either. Solid story where seemingly disparate elements come together in the end but only just okay for me.
