Of course, if you've never read Adams, the book's peculiar nature and the unpredictable behavior of the character's and narrative's course can make the story hard to follow. As engrossed as I can become in a novel, it's rare for an author to tickle my funnybone with words the way ole' Douglas does, by which I mean I've actually laughed out loudly upon reading a line or a character's gut-wrenching dialogue. Infusing mystery with fantasy (as opposed to Hitchhiker's which infuses an adventurous tone with sci-fi), the novel contains Adams' signature philosophical language and dry, British humor deriving from contemplations thereof. I was halfway through the narrative before I researched the book and discovered that it was a sequel to "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency." It was absolutely wonderful. Adams wrote one of my all-time favorite book series, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and I was /invigorated/. I just completed Douglas Adams, "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul." I selected the book from my local library purely because of the name attached to it.
