Editorial Review: Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy with a normal life, married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. They're even about to have their first child. Yes, Charlie's doing okay—until people start dropping dead around him, and everywhere he goes a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Charlie Asher, it seems, has been recruited for a new position: as Death.
It's a dirty job. But, hey! Somebody's gotta do it.

Rating:  - Someone has to do it
I've just finished "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore. This book was a very interesting book. It caught my attention on the first page. The author uses a few sophisticated words here and there. It's a fiction novel because of the strange occurrences of death. These kinds of novels really catch my attention. Not because of death but because they always have a good story line.

Rating:  - not his best
I usually Love Love Love Christopher Moore.......this one.......not so much. Still worth the read, if you're a Moore fan.
Rating: - A Riot!
I LOVED this book. It is the first book I have ever read by Christopher Moore and it wont be the last! I couldn't put it down. I don't believe I have ever laughed so much in my life! The characters were unlike any character you will ever meet again - Well thought out, lively and complete lunatics! Christopher's writing draws you right into the story from sentence one and before you know it you're sipping tea with Alice and the Mad Hatter wondering which one of the two is the "Alpha Male".

Rating: - Best book I've read in a long time
I laughed out loud more times than I can count. I had read Lamb and Island of the Sequined Love Nun and enjoyed them both, but A Dirty Job was by far my favorite Christopher Moore. I tried to recommend it to people, but as soon as you try to explain the plot they look at you like you're crazy! Everyone who actually read it after my recommendation raved about it. Well worth the time and money.
Rating: - Born-again Reader
I used to read all the time when I was younger. As I got into college and more involved in work, instead of picking up a book, I started picking up a controller, either watching the short cartoons on Adult Swim or playing a quick game of Madden. Then last summer on a trip to New York, (for a funeral, no less) I decided to purchase a new book to keep me busy on the flight. I read the back cover and was intrigued. I started in on this book and, for the first time in years, finished it within three ... Read More
