If you’ve never read Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore (or any of his books rather), you’re missing out on a real treat. In this book, Moore combines wit, clever religious humor, and comedy in this funny and engaging novel.

Catch and Travis make up the Demon and Demonkeeper pair, trapped in a master-slave relationship for almost a century. It wasn’t until they came across qaint, little Pine Cove, California that things started to stir to life. Travis wanted to get rid of Catch, and Catch wanted to move onto bigger and better things. And of course, eat more people and wreak more havoc than Travis would allow.

I love this book. I have to admit, it was slow in the beginning, and the way Moore planned out the book was rather confusing, dedicating a chapter to a number of different characters, never revealing the reason why he was talking about them. And if you feel frustrated and tired of hearing about these people like I did, don’t give up. Moore never leaves a stone unturned in this book and by the end, everything will make sense. Overall, it’s a great book and a fast read. Very highly recommended. And it has a feel-good ending that I think the story deserved.
