great book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Once I started I couldn't put it down until I finished it. I will definitely be checking out what else Christopher Moore has written.

A Dirty Job

A friend sent me Moore's "Death Merchant" book to take to the hospital for something light and funny to read. In A Dirty Job, second-hand dealer Charlie finds himself experiencing several life-changes after the birth of his daughter and subsequent death of his wife. He has unexpectedly become a Death Merchant, and is responsible for collecting the souls of the recently departed so they can be passed on to the soul-less - and if he fails there will be hell to pay.

What I found most amusing about Moore's novel were his descriptions of newborns/children and parenting. He captures the complete cluelessness of new parents perfectly, and presents a modern and eclectic style of parenting that is at once charmingly awkward and oddly realistic.

The novel as a whole is enjoyable, if painfully obvious. His presentation of the superstition is the most unimaginative part of the novel, and I found myself glossing over passages about the Morrigan to get back to his modern characters.

A Dirty Job is good for a light read and a chuckle.

Death is so entertaining!

This book was a really good read! It is the first I've read by this author, and you can bet I'll be buying his other books! His sense of humor is so exquisitely sharp!

Amazing Book.

This book is a touching look on death and the complications it creates in relationships. This book is different. Beautifully so. Read this book. Just read it. See if it doesnt change your life. WARNING. This book contains an alarming amount of profanity and other such inappropriate things. This is not a kids book. It is rarer than a kids book. Its a GOOD book.

Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy with a normal life, married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. They're even about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay?until people start dropping dead around him, and everywhere he goes a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Charlie Asher, it seems, has been recruited for a new position: as Death.

It's a dirty job. But, hey! Somebody's gotta do it.
