But I hadn't previously read 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency'. I saw it on someone's shelves, and picked it up in an idle moment.
Like the first 'Hitchhiker' book and its sequels, this is a bizarre mixture of genres: crime fiction, humour, fantasy... and more. And, not being particularly geeky, I didn't really understand it. However, perhaps I just wasn't in the right mood to enjoy it.
On the positive side, I thought the book very well-written, with some humorous asides, which I appreciated. Evidently it is not to be taken too seriously.
