Notice Based On Books A Dirty Job (Grim Reaper #1)

I am a big fan of Moore, he is witty, kooky, has a penchant for the occult and tells a good story. Way back in HS I read Piers Anthony's On a Pale Horse, and this is a satirical, humorous variation on that theme. Moore is stringing together elements of his other novels and has recurring characters, all the more fun.A Dirty Job deals with the tale of Charlie Asher, the owner of an antique store in San Francisco who is a beta male as opposed to an alpha and he is raising his daughter alone

Such an odd story. The only bit I did not like was the very imaginative ending. I just can't deal with monsters and evil crow women or 50+ creatures made out of mixed animal parts. The characters were brillant. Funny situations and funny conversations. Loved the Russian and Chinese woman that looked after Sophie all the time "strong like bear"My favourite quote from the book has to be " Mrs Ling covered Sophie's eyes to shield her from the abomination her fathers' unwillingly journey into

It's hard enough to be a parent that you also have to be Death incarnate.One day you are a parent trying hard to make things work, the next thing you know, you receive the big book of the dead and unwillingly become a taker of souls. Charlie Asher is a highly insecure owner of a modest second hand shop, has a little baby girl named Sophie, and now, he is a reluctant part time grim reaper. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it. The big book clearly warns it: Don't screw it up! But when

Kitty! Poor Charlie Not only is he an awkward beta male who lost his wife, but he also has insubordinate employees, an unhelpful sister and sewer harpies to deal with! To cap it all off, his infant daughter can kill people with an innocuous word and he thinks hes DeathThis book made me laugh. It also made me cry way more than I expected a Chris Moore book ever could, which either means that he is a genius or that I am, in fact, a weep-bag. A Dirty Job is set in Moores San Francisco universe,

I've read a couple of books by Christopher Moore, his masterpiece Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal and Practical Demonkeeping. I loved them both so I figured I'd pick this one up. "A Dirty Job" is very well put together, and a funny book, all right, but not hysterically funny as I was expecting it to be, oh well, that's personal. All in all, a solid novel, I liked it, 4 well deserved stars.

I wanted to read Moore's book Lamb, but it was checked out so I picked up A Dirty Job instead. It maybe was a bad sample of his work, but as luck would have it, it's what I read, wanting to stop in several places, but hoping it would redeem itself. No such luck. The book was hard to follow timewise-- basically you don't know if action is taking place over a week or 6 years. The characters are flat and annoying, and the dialogue is the same. The book is also misogynistic and racist at points,
