Super funny! I’ve been telling people to pick it up ever since finishing the first chapter!

Before you read, consider that this book was written in 2006 and definitely has the humor of the era. If you can resist clutching your pearls, you’ll be treated to deep belly laughs in every chapter. Filled with death, dogs, d ilfs, and demons.

Great read! Funny and Fun !

Do yourself a favor and skip this one. It has a really interesting premise but it’s totally ruined by some casual offensiveness. The “beta male mentality” is referenced repeatedly, the Russian nanny has an obsession with bears, the Chinese nanny steals the main character’s dead fish to fry up later, and Minty Fresh, the seven foot black man, is accused of pulling the race card for... talking black-er I think? At the first I thought I was just being overly sensitive, but as I kept ready it became clear that the author wasn’t going to aim any higher as far as the comedy went. To top all of that off, the book just isn’t super engrossing. There’s a lot of focus on making comedy instead of interesting characters. Too bad, I really wanted to like this one.

I love me some Christopher Moore! What I love about a Moore story are the guaranteed laughs, heaping helpings of insanity, and too many lol moments to count. It always feels like I'm saying goodbye to a close friend when the story is over. This was no different. A Dirty Job is an immersive experience filled with wonderful characters that not only made me smile, cringe, and want to barf, but also pulled on my heart strings as I frantically turned the pages all the way to the end. Anyway, 5 stars, and two enthusiastic thumbs way up there!

Sorry it's finished. Thank goodness there's a sequel. Moved right into that one. Colorful characters, awesome story. I couldn't put it down.

Great book! The perfect mix of humor for a story that is dark and edgy.

Great book! It was an easy yet entertaining and fun read. Christopher Moore is extremely descriptive.

Grate book with a grate sense of humor !!

Fun and easy reading. The author descriptions of people and place are so rich that I could mentally picture almost every scene in "mental high definition".
