Picked this up at thrift store. I liked Lamb so I'm hoping this one is funny as well.

I picked this up because I liked Lamb and heard his other books were really funny. But this one wasn't. I felt like I'm reading a story formed from elements drawn from a hat. The characters were merely walking personality traits without actual personalities, and the plot was contrived beyond the point of amusing silliness. The story appeared to have been written with the belief that random automatically equals funny. It doesn't.
Hopefully the next person will like it better than I did.

I brought this to the local meetup at Union Station in Washington, DC, on 31 May 2008. It did not come home with me. Happy travels, little book!
I brought this back from the BC in DC meet-up at Union Station. I love Christopher Moore, so I'll journal again when I've read it.
I'm in the middle of the book, and I like some of it and not other parts...I agree that it's very disjointed, but it's almost like listening to a standup comedy act--you laugh sometimes, and sometimes you don't. Not as good as A Dirty Job, which I loved...I think I will pass this one along when I'm done, mostly because of the BookCrossing..I love that idea.
