It was pretty funny. It was obvious it was written by a male author because the main character, an aging male, was obsessed with sex, a detail female authors almost never include but men often do.

A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore

Funny, though hard for a new parent to read since it involves a mother dying after childbirth and an infant being threatened by demons. Overall, it was okay, but nowhere near the compelling genius of Lamb.

Is there anything more perfect than curling up with a Flavia de Luce book and spending some time in Bishop’s Lacey? No, no there is not. Bliss.

Mr. Sebastian and the Negro Magician, by Daniel Wallace

racism
Wow. Uh, unlike The Life of Pi, this book’s awfulness did not have a payoff at the end that made it all okay. It was really just racist drivel. I don’t believe the author would understand that criticism, which makes it worse in a way. It was the literary equivalent of that day Tyra Banks dressed in a fat suit and claimed to understand obesity.
