Publisher Description

What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common?

Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza-not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).

To find out more, read this book (better still, buy it, then read it)-or contact Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

"A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-whodunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy epic." The author

Sharps1979 ,

Predictably good.

A great read for me as a wedge book between more challenging reads. Good fun, with amazing use of the English language. Enough grit to keep me the whole way. Just great and so modern for its age.

Riddled with errors

This is a fantastic and hilarious book! Which makes it all the more frustrating that this digital edition is simply full of words & grammar that have been adapted incorrectly. For example "all" is written as "ail", "Richard" may be written as "Richarci"...these are small mistakes, but there are a few pages on which a couple of words are not even recognizable, or grammar was oddly placed. This doesn't make the book unreadable as a whole, but it is very disappointing to have paid for such a dodgy copy.
