Needs more Death, and more Susan, but if they’re going to be side characters in their own “series”, I guess having music be the main subplot (along with all the fun nods to our music industry) was worth it.

Some people love this book, but it's one of my least favorites so far. Chock full of puns, but the rubber never really meets the road. I do like Susan, and it's good to get to know her, but the music stuff mostly fell flat for me.

I don't love reference comedy, so much of the humor in this book didn't hit for me. Also, it feels like another "death takes a vacation" a la Mort and Reaper Man, and I think those do it better perhaps? Or I'm just bored of it.
