Okay. This is my first time reading anything by this author, and I think I am in love. I am on page 94 and laughing my ass off, which isn't easy for a book to do (I think the last time this happened was with Jones in A Confederacy of Dunces).I must quote it. "'What happened?' he asked.

Christopher Moore is a very talented author and manages to tease both tears and laughs out of his audience with this book. He ties in characters from some of his other books, cameos that work well to establish the universe he has created (pretty much entirely in and around San Francisco).

Strange things begin to happen and it takes a while before Charlie learns that he has been selected as a Death Merchant, a collector of the souls of those...
My absolute favorite of Moore's novels. There's nothing like Death as a daddy to warm the cockles of my evil little heart. And writing about Death seems to really bring out the warmth and humanity in the writers, too. I don't know why.
This review happens to be one of the few that I have up on Goodreads that has sparked any form of a conversation between me and other people on the site. This is an author that gives me the whole, "Am I the only one who sees this?/ It feels like I'm taking crazy pills" moment, as I can recall how ...
