Great fun but impossible to summarise without spoilers.Although it is unrelated to H2G2, they are noticeably akin. ( )

I'd already seen both tv shows on this before reading the book, although I usually do it the other way around. I enjoyed both shows and the book, although they're all quite different. this has the same sort of humour as the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, although this possibly has a bit more emotional weight or something along those lines. i liked the characters, and i think dirk gently is actually quite a relatable character in some ways, maybe. this was fairly philosophical possibly, and it had a strange theme or motif or symbol or something of telephones, although im not quite sure what it was trying to say about them. it was funny and interesting and i enjoyed it as much as the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy books, if not more. I didn't fully understand all the references but i think i understood most of the plot, at least in general terms. this also seems to have elements similar to the doctor who story city of death which was also written by adams, and this even has an long lived time-traveller in it ( )

Există umor absurd amuzant, ca in Ghidul Autostopistului Galactic, si există umor absurd doar absurd, ca aici. M-a amuzat doar vag si rar. ( )

Basically the same old Douglas Adams nonsense, which, if you picked up the book, you probably already expected and, in fact, enjoy. So. It was very Douglas Adams-y. ( )
