Practical Demonkeeping

Christopher Moore is a Hidden Gem

Practical Demon Keeping was so unexpected. This is the first book by Christopher Moore I’ve ever read, and I cant say I’m upset with the outcome in the slightest. Hold on to your seats in the beginning—you’re not going to be expecting the narrators voice for Catch (the demon).
Watching a comedy movie or going to see a comedian live is a simple way to get a big chuckle from the mundane human experience. Very rarely do I laugh at a podcast let alone an audiobook. Most of the time I’ll snicker because an author was clever, but Christopher Moore is actually funny you guys. You instantly get a sense of his humor at the start with The Breeze and Billy. Within 10 minutes of the audiobook something climactic happens. I love when novels are a vacuum like that, pulling me in from the very beginning. This is one of those books you read and afterwards you know it will be awhile before you find another one that good. When it’s an actual challenge to become interested in another novel you know you’ve found an exceptional read.
You’re really going to love the demons witty remarks throughout the book. His demon keeper, even better. Augustus Brine will blow your mind and the genie will have you asking yourself if you have a “small quantity of salt” hiding in a cabinet somewhere. Moore writes these characters into existence. I really feel like I personally met every person in Pine Cove. Of course, I wont spoil anything else. Trust me guys, this audiobook was seriously amazing.
