 Monsters At Play: An Obsession Review
The shooter, it turns out, is sharing the same long, dark teatime of the soul as our tortured, empty protagonist.
Though the set-up is rather conventional (the missing gun, the investigation of a killer who shares a similar dark side with the protagonist), there is a modicum of intrigue for the first half hour or so.
The cinematography by Ishii Isao is one of the highlights of “An Obsession.” Framed in predominantly long and medium shots, Isao’s lense comments on the disaffected characters by keeping a safe distance away.

 Buffy News : Slayage.com : REVIEW : 'The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul' by Ron
In fact, I remember thinking as she stormed out of the Wiccan meeting what a cool and confident character she's evolved into, and I don't just mean in this episode, because of course she was a tad out of her mind for a lot of it.
First he was battling insanity, a broken heart, and the guilt that comes when a vampire gets his soul back, then it was the confusion and remorse of a First-controlled killing spree.
That ended just as the Bringers, um, "brought" him to the First for a couple weeks of intense torture, and after an equal period to relax and heal up, it was time for the chip to start filling his head with a boatload of hurt at regular intervals.

 Buffy News : Slayage.com : REVIEW : 'Into the Wood' by Ron
I’m sure there are people that expected it to get removed or disabled 2 or 3 episodes after the Initiative put it in, but once again Joss’ flair for long plotlines took precedence, and it stayed in long enough to add even stronger credibility to Spike’s difficult road to redemption.
The conclusion we eventually reached is that Angel was at his absolute worst when the gypsies forced his soul on him.
You could say that it was the chip that saved him, but it was also his struggle over why Buffy couldn’t love him that led him to remember who he was and then to focus on what he could be.

Thor naturally makes more of a nuisance of himself, but anyway, the notion of everything that the human race ever chose to believe in being true, and staying true long after we've ceased to need it to be true as well, is an astonishingly moving one.

The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul is the follow on to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, it doesn't make a huge difference which order you read them in but things are better understood if you do get them the right way around.
I also think Dirk Gently's is the better of the two - it'll keep you thinking for a long time.
Dirk Gently and The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul are definitely worth the read -- classic DNA, and no hint that he didn't want to write them.

 Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams is best known as the creator of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the story of Earthman Arthur Dent who survives the destruction of his home planet (demolished to make way for an interstellar bypass) by hitching a lift on a passing starship.
Originally a BBC radio show, HHGG went on to sell 14 million copies upon its publication in book form -- priming the pump for the bestselling follow-ups that included the novels The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe, Life, The Universe And Everything, So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish, and Mostly Harmless.
It also triggered a computer game, a comic book, stage adaptations, a BBC television series, and of course a bath towel, and a film adaptation.
