It's been a while since I read any of Douglas Adams work. Dirk seems to be a completely different kind of weird from the Hitchhikers Guide books. Certainly this one did not have the silly playful weird I was used to. It's a bit darker and grimier. He still manages to catch my attention and keep me engaged. Though the beginning and ending were Mostly Pointless, the middle was a fun ride. Thor, Odin and the gang were up to some hijinks. ( ![]() sheesh it took forever to finish this book Remarkably relevant, considering it was published in ‘88. Also, Neil Gaimen must have read this before writing American Gods. I gave this one a go during my weekly commutes. It's well written, has a solid plot with a few unexpected bits and a smattering of dry humor, but overall lacks the fun of his more famous works. It's interesting-- despite being written later it feels oddly embryonic compared to the Hitchhiker's Guide series, perhaps as a result of the way those books process took them from radio show to novels with multiple revisions in between. Regardless, it was certainly a decent way to occupy a few hours on a long drive. A bit weak and, I now realize, so typical of its time. I believe I read this book in my teenage years. I don't think Dirk Gently is really even necessary to the book. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Dirk Gently has fallen on hard times and dresses as a gypsy woman, using his irritatingly accurate clairvoyant powers to read palms. He is saved when a frantic client turns up with a ludicrous story about being stalked by a goblin waving a contract accompanied by a hairy, green-eyed, scythe-wielding monster. When Detective Superintendent Gilks decides a headless body found in a sealed room is the result of a particularly irritating suicide, Dirk is plunged into a mystery where the interconnectedness of all things is tested to the limit.
