DESCRIPTION:
Barbara A. Bolek said Entertaining conclusion to an offbeat, quirky story. This, and the first book in this storyline, "A Dirty Job" are my two favorites out of the Christopher Moore books I own. You can't help but fall in love with little, foul-mouthed death-bringer, Sophie, her "goggie" companions, and her father Charlie Asher. . Good Read, wonderful characters, but pointless plot. NowImMad I absolutely loved A Dirty Job, but after reading the sequel and thinking back, I realize that what I loved were the characters and their interactions. The overall story of that book, mirrored here is, big bad rises and is (spoilers) conveniently dispatched. "Moore back in fine form!" according to Mark D. Wilson. For me, at least, this book tells me that Christopher Moore is back. I first discovered Moore's work with A Dirty Job and loved it so much, I read his entire back catalog as fast as I could and loved every one. Moving forward, I liked his Fool Pocket books
Something really strange is happening in the City by the Bay. Now if only they can get little Sophie to stop babbling about the coming battle for the very soul of humankind.. To get to the bottom of this abomination, a motley crew of heroes will band together: the seven-foot-tall death merchant Minty Fresh, retired policeman-turned-bookseller Alphonse Rivera, the emperor of San Francisco and his dogs, and Lily, the former Goth girl. No one knows where they are going or why, but it has something to do with that big orange bridge. Someone - or something - is stealing them. Death merchant Charlie Asher is just as flummoxed as everyone else. He's trapped in the body of a 14-inch-tall "meat puppet", waiting for his Buddhist nun girlfriend, Audrey, to find him a suitable new body to play host. People are dying, but their souls are not being collected. In San Francisco, the souls of the dead are mysteriously disappearing - and you know that can't be good - in New York Times best-selling author Christopher Moore's delightfully funny sequel to A Dirty Job
