What an enteraining story! Christopher Moore's imagination is something else! At various points I found myself thinking that this book was hilarious, that it was a great fantasy, that it was touching, and that it was bizarre (to the point that at times I found myself thinking, "what the hell am I ...

Christopher Moore is freakin' amazing. A fresh and funny story about a "beta male" who becomes Death. Charlie is wonderfully neurotic and super sweet. Sophie was spunky and adorable. I can't even begin to describe Lilly and Minty Fresh. Just so good. And I literally gasped at the twisty ending...

This wasn't as good as the previous Moore book (Lamb: the gospel according to Biff) I read, but it had its good points. In this, Charlie Asher loses his wife, gains a newborn daughter and becomes a Death Merchant, all on the same day. As the years go by, Charlie, collects soul vessels and keeps th...

Q. What do you get when you throw together - -> A newly appointed "Death Merchant" in charge of helping souls find the right bodies-> An infant girl who has the ability to kill people by merely pointing at them and saying "kitty"-> A lesbian who "borrows" her brother's Armani suits to hit on Yoga in...

Yes, it's hilarious but then I'm unable to love this book the way others did. It's about a man who can see a grip reaper we called and who knows that he's the one too. Along the way a lot of weird things happened to him and he got this bad feelings. In the end, he finally knows why. He's a grim reap...

This book was absolutely hilarious, but then again all of Christopher Moore's books are hilarious. I actually laughed out loud quite a few times while I was reading it and the humor flowed so naturally that it was a very easy read. I never wanted to put it down. According to the book there are Alpha...

A Dirty Job is a hilarious and interesting offering from Christopher Moore, this time about Death. Moore does another awesome job taking a serious subject and making it pure fun and crazy-ness. It's also great to see some characters that occur in his other books as well (in an unobtrusive way).

This book was a nice break from what I have been reading lately. It was a darkly funny...urban fantasy? Basically about a total nerd who finds himself in a precarious situation as a "death merchant". It got a little hum-drum towards the end for me, but was a pretty good read. My favorite part of...

Oh my gosh this book was funny! I am always suspicious when someone claims a book is "laugh out-loud funny", but I think I may have actually done that a few times! My first read by Mr. Moore, and I went on to read quite a few others. This is still my favorite, and funniest, but Lamb: The Gospel Acco...
