If you like Terry Pratchett offerings, you will probably feel right at home. If you like droll, mostly understated British humour you will find this a very delightful read indeed. I have been a long time fan of Doug Adams, but somehow overlooked this particular novel until I saw the BBC mini-series of it. What a treat. Thank you, BBC. Mr. Adams certainly knew his way around fantastic and/or absurd situations. Perhaps not as fantastic as Hitchhiker's Guide. At least not until toward the end. Still, it's science fictiony enough for the imaginative. I doubt if I am alone in appreciating his facility with the English language. How many authors do you know who could use the phrase "exuberantly prolific loquacity" in a sentence and make it read utterly normally. Personally, I doubt if I have ever even used two out three of those words and certainly not in the same sentence. My advice: don't skim. Take your time to allow all the gags to sweep over you. They are on every page. Review: Brilliant..nothing much else to say really! - I love all of Douglas Adam's books so it will come as no surprise I enjoyed this one too. As with all his other novels, the central character in this one is a bit of a wacky, eccentric sort who has a few gifts and has decided to play detective in order to capitalize on the gullability of his clients. I just loved reading this book and the other "Dark Tea- time Of the Soul". They are just great, easy to read, funny, enjoyable and light fun reads that make me wish so much that Douglas Adam's had remained alive longer so we could have had even more pleasure enjoying his unique way of constructing a good yarn. I wont go into the plot here, many paople know this book backwards as do I. I have read it a multitude of times over the years and intend to carry on doing so every couple of years. Just enjoy it, it is an utterly unique style of book, juts like all the others in the Hitch-Hikers series. Thanks for reading my review!! ## Images ![Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+DA3OrlDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Ripping Good Read *by G***X on January 28, 2014* If you liked The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy you will most likely enjoy this book as well.

Thanks for reading my review!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great start--but unfortunately not finished *by C***K on August 29, 2020* The first book in what promised to be a fantastic series, stands on its own as a fine example of what a good writer Douglas Adams was. It's plotting and characters are memorable, and there are moments that are laugh-out-loud funny. The problem is not with this first book. It's a more mature piece of writing than Hitchhiker was, and more cohesively done--but it really didn't have as good a follow-up. If you want to see anything that even resembles the two television series that are available, you won't find it in this book. Whoever produced those apparently only read the jacket blurbs and not the actual novels. Which is too bad. Because the books ARE better than both British-made and American-made films. The books will startle you by how utterly divorced they are from both. They did Adams a real disservice by doing that, but don't miss this novel because it isn't like the movie. This one is very, very good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/167577448-dirk-gentlys-holistic-detective-agency](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/167577448-dirk-gentlys-holistic-detective-agency) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
