Charlie Asher is a pretty normal guy. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant, you know, the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male.

But Charlie's been lucky. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store with the help of a couple of loyal, if marginally insane, employees. He's married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. And she, Rachel, is about to have their first child.

Yes, Charlie's doing okay for a Beta. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. Just as Charlie, exhausted from the birth, turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel's hospital bedside, a man who claims that no one should be able to see him. But see him Charlie does, and from here on out, things get really weird.

People start dropping dead around him, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death. It's a dirty job. But hey, somebody's gotta do it.

"Moore's enthusiasm and skill make it convincing, and his affection for the cast of weirdos gives the book an unexpected poignancy." (Publishers Weekly)

Funny, fresh and well written, this was a nice find after so many disappointments lately. Best audio since Vonnegut and Confederacy of Dunces.

Some stories are great for the movies this book is so awesome that you could not make it justice by making it into a movie, there are enough stories within this book to make it a series but an HBO or Showtime type series. Or Netflix! This is a great, great book one of my favorite.

Someone please make this book into a HBO Series

This book is absolutely hilarious! It's extraordinary well written, and the story is genius! I loved the characters and the dialogue. The story has that quirky attitude that never fails to make me giggle. It's great background noise, but at the same time it is intriguing. The reading is fabulous too. There is a great variety of voices and the reader keeps the tone lighthearted when necessary, and ominous and heart quickening. Overall, the story is hilarious and interesting, and the reading keeps the story intriguing.

Amazing!

Christopher Moore has such a strange sense of humor - very odd - but I laughed out loud so many times. Lots of fun.

So Very Funny

I did like the reader. Great job.

I had a hard time getting into this book mostly because it's just over the top weird. I could probably handle excessive weirdness, but it wasn't nearly as funny as two of Christopher Moore's other books.

The style of this book reminded me of the humor writer, Dave Barry, who was pretty hit-and-miss in my opinion.

If you really want to see Christopher Moore's talents get Noir it's a four-star book. Or get Fool, a five-star plus. Fool is the only Audible book I've ever listened to back-to-back. It's that unique and funny.

not not buying the next book in this series
