Book Reviews of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Book Review: The funniest book ever?
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the first book by Douglas Adams I read, not having read Hitch-hikers and I am too young to have seen the T.V series, therefore I started to read without any real expectation or withot knowledge of what a Douglas Adams book is about. I really got into it and although the text is a little hard to follow and you wonder what is actually going on some of the time, the stories and the themes are linked eith great intelligence and the repetion of things such as Zen navigation are wonderfully funny. The writing style of Adams: his use of description, allegory and comparison lend itself to reading in such a way that you cannot put the book down and you find yourtself laughing out loud. It is comparable to the hitch-hikers but in my opinion it is considerably better - it is the hitch-hikers but cleverer, more succint, more imaginitive and funnier. I would recomend it to anyone who likes to laugh.
