Chris's review of Practical Demonkeeping
Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore
I know people have been hard on Moore for this book. I do agree that it has shortcomings. But having read his works mostly backward -- started with Lamb then A Dirty Job and now to Practical Demonkeeping with stops at others along the way -- I see more in this book than perhaps meets the eye. Moore lays a lot of groundwork for future books in this one. Some of it is direct, such as using some characters who will show up in later works. In other cases, you can see him developing his story telling style and finding his voice. Personally, I love being able to see a writer's development like that over his or her body of work. Moore consistently improves and I hope he continues to do so unlike, say, Anne Rice or Tom Clancy.

Hmmm..ok - didn't make the bookstore last night, so will have to go tomorrow. Barnes and Noble, around 2:00ish? I know that you have this and I can borrow it but - I'm not sure that I can wait that long :)
