Book Reviews of Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story
Book Review: An ode to the city I love
Summary: 5 Stars
Chancing on the first Christopher Moore book (Practical Demonkeeping) in a news stand on a Saturday long ago was one of the happier events in my literary life. This book was just a kick in the pants as it's set in the big City next door, San Francisco. I'll never look at the City the same way - Chinatown, the Marina , and other landmarks are celebrated in ways that make them even more memorable.
Mr Moore has an engaging turn of phrase - the characters internal monologues kind of get lodged in your head and affect the way you think. And you will never think of being a vampire as a goth, lace, wrapped in black sort of experience. It's a dodge the daylight, what do I eat, how do I deal with this kind of joyride.
Book Review: My turtles are not on dlugs!
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read (and purchased) this book soon after its release and loved it. I had read Coyote Blue and thus thought I knew what to expect from Mr. Moore. This book exceeded my expectations. The situations are riotous, the plotting quick and tight, and the one-liners that can be borrowed from this book are without number. From the proper use of Reddi-Whip ("Can up!") to the "Ski Boat" to the Emperor's "Safety first!" this book has become an integral part of my personal mythos. And although I can't say I have ever "skidded the buzzard," the ski boat works just great.Book Review: my favorite Moore book
Summary: 5 Stars
My first Christopher Moore book, and my favorite still. Will make you LOL! After this read Fluke and Lamb, they are fantastic too. You Suck was good, I just finished The lust lizard of melancholy cove, it was not Mr. Moore's best work, I'd avoid that one. Next on the list Practical Demon keeping and I'm hoping for another winner!
