Better Off Dead

A bit on the short side and not on the same level as the author's other series, but a fun read all the same. I despised Bill, the guardian angel almost from the start. Obnoxious, infantile, and crass. And then something changed and he started to grow on me. By the end I was glad he was there (though, the wisecracks could be toned down in future installments). Anytime an author can change my mind about a character, I have to give them credit. It's not an easy task. Tallis on the other hand, I'm still not sold on. Maybe if I hadn't had to “translate”/read aloud everything he said, I'd feel differently. Lilly needs more personality and hopefully that will come with additions to the series.
