Customer Reviews

This is a Fantastic Book!

The idea is original and well thought out, it is a fun read, and yet at times it makes you think; somehow drawing parallels within your own life.

Funny & touching

Nominally a novel, it's really a set of intertwined stories -- the werewolf sees the mess left by the zombies, and so on. They're laugh-out-loud funny, but grounded in real characters that you feel for. As I flip back through the book to write this review, I can't decide who I like best. The werewolf is awfully sweet, but the evil twin, struggling between his demonic career goals and love of Play-Doh calls to me, too. Be forewarned that this does not fit in the horror genre. Look elsewhere for chills. I don't think there is a defined genre that you can shoe-horn this book into. It is funny and touching. The closest comparison I can think of is Christopher Moore.

A Very Good Read

I was in Oregon when I read about Portland resident Jan Underwood winning a contest with this collection of stories, so I put it down on my list to read. Well I finally got around to opening Day Shift Werewolf and found it every bit as charming and readable as I'd hoped it would be. These are not horror stories, more like imaginative twists of everyday reality, and I can see why Jan Underwood came out on top in the competition!

Great Read!

A charming, lighthearted, yet poignant, set of stories -- written by an especially charming person. And although I may be biased, this time I'm also right. Written by Jan's Mom.
