Many people have read Douglas Adam's comedic masterpiece "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" but few know of his other works. One of such unknown works is "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" the story of Dirk Genty the world's greatest detective.
Just like Hitchhiker's, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a comedy and a damn good one at that. While it is similar to Hitchhiker's, but it also has it's own comedic feel that's only enhanced by the great characters, such as Dirk himself. The book does have a few of those British jokes that can confuse American readers a bit, but for the most part the jokes are universal. Basically a parody of Sherlock Homes, the story features(in true Douglas Adams fashion), a ghost, a robot, a horse in a bathtub, and of course Hypnotism.
Comedy fans will love this story and as one I give it a solid 4 out of 5. Just known finding a copy can be tricky, so ordering one from online is your best bet.
