Za thinks this book is Worth Reading.
Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
Vintage Douglas Adams in terms of hilarious quips and insidious one-liners, but the storyline of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency failed to grip me -- there were parts of the book that I found pretty boring, in fact. Worth a read to discover a few gems by way of jokes, but otherwise not anywhere close to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
