Secondhand Souls by Christopher Moore
5.0
I was SO WORRIED about this book. I ADORE "A Dirty Job," and, when I found out there would be a sequel, I went right to pre-orders. But what if Moore missed? What if the comedy was lost? What if my memories of the original novel were forever TAINTED?
Nope! This is a worthy sequel in all ways! The old cast came back, the humor was maintained, and I have another book I have to shove at anyone who comes asking for a recommendation.
Sophie is, as always, the focus of my love, though she appears in very little of the book. Where she does feature, though, it's little girls cursing and proclaiming they are Death. Which is ADORABLE. I'd be so interested in reading another book just about her, because Moore writes her perfectly. You can just imagine this little girl running around, commanding life and death with her big puppies.
Granted, the book has a bit of a slow start, but if you're doing the audiobook, as I did, you'll get through it soon enough and then make sure you're not driving and listening, or you will die.
This is going to be on my bookshelf permanently. And it so deserves the spot.
