i just read...
i just read a dirty job by christopher moore. now, this book is definitely not going to appeal to you unless you have a bit of a macabre sense of humor since the premise is about a single dad becoming "death".
the book makes some very funny jokes and overall, has quite the decent plot. a lot of it is totally tongue in cheek. the stereotypes of people gets a little tiring in the book here and there and is quite annoying at moments since it seems to be more of a deus ex machina when he has nothing else.
other than that, it was worth turning the pages. i haven't decided if i am going to pick anything else of his up. if i do, it will definitely be the stupidest angel. anyone read that?

I love Chris Moore, I beta read for Harper Collins occasionally and I was lucky enough to get picked for The Stupidest Angel. However, I do recommend reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal first since he really sets up the character of Gabriel in that one. Plus, Lamb is still my all time favorite book of his. Chris is also one of those great writers who still participates in conversations with his fans on his blog and forums, he's a good guy.
