I generally love Christopher Moore's books and I've never found one to date that I just didn't like. Dirty Job, though, is one that falls somewhere on the lower end of the spectrum of his work for me. It's hard to put a finger on just what was missing in this on that was there in the others, but if I had to pin something down I'd say it was generally that things just didn't 'fit' like they should. Moore's books are humor, definitely, and this one has some great moments. But amid the humor, there's normally a thread of seriousness that keeps them from flying off totally into the ridiculous. A Dirty Job still had some of that, but there were places where the humor elements drowned out the underlying plot and characterization a little too much. The book is still definitely worth a read if you're a fan of his work, but I just wasn't as blown away by this one as I have been by most of his others. I think things are too cluttered - there are too many things going on that really don't need to be there for the story to progress (squirrel people is the major one that comes to mind - at least in the unnecessarily complicated way they were handled) and that I think end up taking away instead of adding to. Another issue for me was the main characters ignoring answers that were literally right in their faces, when they otherwise seemed to pick up on things easily enough. It felt artificial and somewhat contrived considering I'd think most readers had it figured out within 1/3 of the book or less. With a little more streamlining and some cleaning up and throwing out of things that didn't seem to work, I feel it could've been a better book overall. That said, there are still things I loved. Like his other works, the characters in this book live in a shared world with the characters from his other books. There are cameos from some familiar faces and larger parts played by others we've seen before, as well as recurring appearances by favorites like the Emperor of San Francisco. It gives a continuity to his books that you don't find very much and I also liked the way Moore tied up some loose ends in the end. The characters are engaging and sympathetic, the plot is interesting enough to hold your attention, and the humor is generally clever and quick witted. Overall, it's an enjoyable enough read and definitely worth the time. Just don't expect it to live up to some of his more spectacularly well done stories.
