Product Description:
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:  - Left me needing Moore
I am a big fan of David Sedaris so my boyfriend surprised me with this book after talking to someone at the book store. His writing style is unique and I found myself laughing outloud on the subway and looking a little crazy at times.

The subject of death and underworld creatures may turn some readers off, but the book has a nice flow and I would recommend this book for anyone looking for an easy ... Read More

San Franciscan Charlie Asher is a Beta Male Widower who has just discovered that he is a death merchant. His daughter Sophie is his life.

And THAT is just the tip of ... Read More
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.
"A Dirty Job" By Christopher Moore is about a man named Charlie Asher. He realizes that people around ... Read More
