Our reviews of Douglas Adams's work
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
by Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams writing comic SF detective fiction with time travel, an electric monk, and the fundamental interconnectedness of all things.
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
by Douglas Adams
The Dirk Gently sequel, with Norse gods stranded in modern London. Funnier than its predecessor, slightly less ambitious.
Life, the Universe and Everything
by Douglas Adams
The third Hitchhiker's book. Cricket-themed apocalypse. Funnier than its reputation and a small structural marvel.
So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish
by Douglas Adams
The fourth Hitchhiker's book. Adams writing a love story disguised as an SF comedy. Calmer, sadder, surprising.
Mostly Harmless
by Douglas Adams
The fifth Hitchhiker's book. Famously bleak. Adams said later he wrote it in a bad mood. You can tell.
Starship Titanic
by Douglas Adams
A novelization of the Douglas Adams computer game, written by Terry Jones. Half Adams, half Monty Python, all 90s eccentricity.
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide
by Douglas Adams
The collected Hitchhiker's books in one volume. If you have not read these, you have a treat ahead. If you have, you already know.
