What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common? Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza -- not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).

Douglas Adams does time travel and ghosts with style!

It was a very good book, part of my renewed commitment to reading (the first of that commitment). The book winds around in a lot of different story lines finally (sort of) putting everything together in the end. It is very similar to Douglas Adams usual writing style.

I particularly enjoy the old school mention of Macintosh computers and synthesizers, the technology seems very accurate to the time the book was written (except for the time machine of course).
