A Dirty Job by Christopher MooreMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook narrated by Fisher Stevens.
On my most recent read, I caught a number of foreshadowing events which I'd missed. I've also become a lot more critical since I started narrating audiobooks - I even found fault with a few of Steven's choices, mostly of inflection.
I enjoyed Moore's prose - usually do. The local flavor has always been a hook for me, and this was no exception. Though Moore's San Fransisco is fictional, he bases it heavily upon the real one. I especially like his insertion of the historical Emperor of California, although his version is a lot nicer. I also enjoyed seeing cameos from other books - it's like watching a crossover episode of two favorite TV shows.
