About this listen

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is 100-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Behind the fake Tudor façade of Pine Cove, California, Catch sees a four-star buffet. Travis, on the other hand, thinks he sees a way of ridding himself of his toothy traveling companion. The winos, neo-pagans, and deadbeat Lotharios of Pine Cove, meanwhile, have other ideas. And none of them is quite prepared when all hell breaks loose.

I was kind of hoping for something more on the horror side being that it's about a murderous demon but was just too childish for my tastes. Definitely not the worst thing I've ever listened to though, had some funny spots. I just prefer my demons more demonic.

A bit more "young reader" than I was hoping

I enjoyed this and listened to it all the way through, which is saying something as I struggle with many titles. lots of fun, only four stars on the story because while I enjoyed it it did not get my full enthusiasm

Fun and rich

I love the way Christopher Moore uses language. His witty, dry and fluid use of words conjure such perfectly absurd images and with Oliver's ability to bring each character to life, this like all his books is a feast for the ears and imagination!

Just brilliant
