Well I finished reading this book last night and first off let me say, I am not one for morbid, or grossly intense novels, especially about death.  That being said, the book caught my eye because of it’s bold and interesting reader reviews, so here I am to leave one of my own.

A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore was a interesting, hilarious (that had me laughing out loud on a couple of occasions) book about the subject of death.  Without giving too many details out, basically the star of the book is a second hand store shop owner who loses his wife just after giving birth to his daughter and ends up seeing who he thinks is death.  This causes a chain reaction of events that leads to him discovering that he and his daughter were both blessed with the power to see/take souls. Hmmm, funny? Absolutely! The author does such a great job of portraying the troubled, weird and odd characters in a way that is highly endearing, despite their gruesome jobs, and the ending is a interesting twist of surprise. Worth reading for sure, if you are into this genre.  Will I read it again? Probably not, some parts of the book were a little too intense on the fictional death thing and made me feel a bit uncomfortable. But all in all three thumbs up from me to the author for such a bold risk in topic, and to actually adding humor to it!
