Format:Paperback
Without doubt one of the funniest book I'ver ever read. A decent plot, tons of hilarious remarks and a sense of words that you'll love if you like the humour of the likes of Terry Pratchett.
I can't wait to read his other books!

Just finished reading this book and I have to say that I can't believe it sat on my list of books to read for so long, about 18 months, and I read a lot!. It was a FAB read, soooo funny, I keep trying to remember the one liners but ultimately it was a great story, great characters ... it had the whole shebang!!! A Dirty Job definately gets a great big thumbs up from me and I'll be lending this book to everyone I know.

I Stumbled across christopher moore while in a book shop and have been unable to stop buying his humourous and alll round witty books. Dirty Job is my favourite of all his books so far, it had me laughing out-loud. Also the story is so cleverly written I am suprised this author does not get more press!
If you enjoy the supernatural and clever humour you can not go wrong with moore!

So so
The book in its self is a funny book. Characters are funny in their own way. Ending a rather big let down. Got recommended by a friend who also said the ending was pretty bad.

Funny, thrilling, mysterious and heartwarming.
I approached this with trepidation; reading the back cover blurb gave the impression the plot was a knock-off of Terry Pratchett's MORT, where Death takes an apprentice. Read more

Buy this book!!
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore is an excellent book. In turns funny, sad, astounding, unpredictable. Reminded me a little of Neil Gaiman and his fans should give it a go.

Moore seems to have nicked the fantasy/horror comedy crown from the more established authors in this genre. Read more
