Book Review of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Dirk Gently, Bk 1)

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (Dirk Gently, Bk 1)
Helpful Score: 1


I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I read it because it is on the list of "1,001 Books to read before you die". I was skeptical because very often I disagree with "critics" in that I do not look for political statements or rhetoric against the human race, etc. etc.-but I do enjoy books that make me think, move me, scare me or just purely entertain me. This was very entertaining. It was quite strange and in the first few chapters, I was not sure-but it really hooked me and became hard to put down. I'm not sure I would go so far as to say it is vital to read before you die-but it is fun reading and quite unique!
