A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore

It's nice to be able to count on an author. Christopher Moore, for instance, consistently produces highly imaginative and amusing works of light fiction; you can count on him to entertain. A Dirty Job is no better, and no worse, than Lamb or Bloodsucking Fiends or The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove: a quick read, jam-packed with fantasy and humor, a, frankly, delightful combo. Great vacation reading.
