A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore-quite possibly the best book I have ever read! This book has opened my eyes to a totally new type of reading genre, which I love. Contemporary writing is off beat realistic to the point of no return and the genre I will be looking for from this day forward. A Dirty Job was hilarious but could also make a person cry. It almost seems as it was written just for me to of read. The sheer darkness of the book was appealing, but then throw in sick humour and vulgarity and story line and it is turned into an unforgettable novel. The book left me begging for more, I even read the authors notes at the end. I read cover to cover and still wasn’t satisfied. The epilogue answered some questions but not nearly enough, I still need to know what happened to Charlie’s sole, did Sophie kill anyone else, and was the darkness gone for good?
I stayed up for hours to read this book, read during class and thought of reading while I wasn’t. I was engaged in this book from the beginning. As soon as I finished the book I told Nicole that I had a new favourite author and book.
This book type, contemporary, is a new favourite of mine. It’s weird but amazing all in the same. It brings together so many different components, emotions and writing styles.

I'm glad that you have found a genre that appeals to you. I am interested to know more about the book. What were you left wondering? What was included in the authors notes?
ReplyDeleteI wasnt sure what happened to all of the characters as one of the main ones seemed to hhave died but the book left hints saying his soul would come back. To read more in depth on this specific novel you should follow the link which I have recently posted.
