The full title is Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. I was afraid it would be cut off in the title!
I have no idea what to expect with this book. I haven't heard much about it.

It is quite possibly my favorite Douglas Adams book, but it has been a long time since I read it, so all I have left are the memories of the feeling, if that makes any sense.

The beginning is very very odd. SO much so that I think it is worth mentioning just how odd it is, in order to prepare you for it's oddness. And of course encourage all to perservere with it, because it does all make sense in the end. Well about as much sense as DNA ever makes, but the somewhat disperate threads all tie together in a gradiose knot.
It may also be, in places, somewhat UK centric in outlook - please ask and I (or the other UK based GDers) can attempt to explain what on earth he's going on about.

I read it a couple of months ago, with high expectations as a result of postings here. The cultural and literary aspects were not a problem for me. However, in the end I found it very flat. It was just like..."So?" To me it didn't seem to reward the investment.
