Editorial Review:
When a passenger check-in desk at London's Heathrow Airport disappears in a ball of orange flame, the explosion is deemed an act of God. But which god, wonders holistic detective Dirk Gently? What god would be hanging around Heathrow trying to catch the 3:37 to Oslo? And what has this to do with Dirk's latest--and late-- client, found only this morning with his head revolving atop the hit record "Hot Potato"? Amid the hostile attentions of a stray eagle and the trauma of a very dirty refrigerator, super-sleuth Dirk Gently will once again solve the mysteries of the universe...
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - typical brilliant Douglas Adams
Bought it to complete my collection of Douglas Adams' and if you've been reading the rest, you'd know how good this'd be.
Rating:  - Brilliant, but what would you expect?
Only Douglas Adams could come up with sentences like, "He was deliberately and maliciously watching tv at him!"
I love both Dirk Gently books, but this one is better, and funnier. I still laugh out loud when I think of Kate's "alleged car". I was afraid I'd be disappointed, since I've been a fan of the Hitchhiker books for years, but these seem to be books for his more mature audience, as the jokes are a little more subtle.
Rating:  - ...Not the same as Holistic Detective Agency
This book is also definitely WAY OUT THERE. But I have to say, I did not find it quite as laugh-out-loud funny as its prequel, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I am almost finished with it (less than 50 pages to go and those will go quick), but it is VERY ODD! Still, it has many of the same classic Adams' techniques and it still quite funny.
Rating: - He wrote some great stuff that wasn't Hitchhiker, too
He really got his non-Hitchhiker groove on here and wrote a thoroughly enjoyable, imaginative, and thought-provoking novel that will have you turning pages from start to finish. You don't even have to read the first Dirk Gently first if you don't want to. Just go grab this, dive in, and enjoy. I gave more words to the first one, but this one's better.
Rating:  - Do not buy the CD set!
I love Douglas Adams, and I love to hear his recordings of his books.
I like The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul well enough to have worn out my audio tapes.
I bought the CD version, but disk 6 is a messed up recording. It starts repeating parts and pieces of the same chapter over and over and never gets to the end of the book. The end of the story is not included on the last disk. I am not the only one to have found it so. You will be left hanging.
