3.0

I liked it more than the other Christopher Moore book I read recently - but I did still notice some of the dated nature of some of the jokes and attitudes in this book. 

In particular, the “death to the infidel” scene made me grit my teeth and almost stop reading.

I really liked the character of Charlie, and his dynamic with his employee Ray, where they both kind of imagined the other as a serial killer. 😆

I liked the hellhounds. 

I liked The Morrigan. 

I did like the Bruce Almighty vibes, and thought the book was very unique!
