Book Reviews of A Dirty Job: A Novel
Book Review: "A Dirty Job" - An Awesome Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Christopher Moore has done it one more time. He's written another masterpiece that I just couldn't put down. If you've never read any of his work, this is as good a place as any to start. Just know that you've got to have a bit of a dark sense of humor. If you do, you'll laugh out loud at this novel.
Charlie Asher's life is filled with tragedy. Unfortunately, he is also faced with becoming a "death merchant," responsible for collecting the souls of the recently departed. In addition, he has to raise a baby girl who is protected by two massive hell-hounds, and somehow save the world from doom. Not a bad job for the owner of a second-hand store.
Christopher Moore takes the bizarre, twists it some more, and comes up with stories that are hilarious and captivating. For a fun read, you can never go wrong with any of his books. Other favorites by Mr Moore include "Lamb; The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal," and "The Island of the Sequined Love Nun."
