Book Reviews of Practical Demonkeeping
Book Review: Bizaare fiction debut from a humorist.
Summary: 4 Stars
Christopher Moore attempts to combine a mixture of laddish Americanized crassness and intelligible fantastic plot devices in his novels. He's not a Rankin, and indefinitely not a Pratchett, but his work is endearing enough to enjoy. We have a man eternally stalked by a rabid demon from the Netherhells, a djinn of indistinguishable age, an abused cultist, a giant owl, and ancient apocrypha from the annals of Jerusalem's history. Enough to make you chuckle, enough to make you clap, yet "Practical Demonkeeping" (with the Josh Kirby cover!) never actually inspires one to read more of Moore's titles, all of which include the same esoteric and witty style and grace. Oh well...
