Book Reviews of the Coyote Blue
Customer Review: A Warped and Wise Willie Loman
Summary: 4 Stars
A salesman without a soul. I have to admit, for me, this book took a little time to get into. Flipping the pages, I could see there was a lot less dialogue than narrative text, which usually means b-o-r-i-n-g. And I have to admit, the book drew me in slowly. But once he had me, I was willing to take the trip to North Dakota. Suspension of Disbelief goes without saying -- it's Chris Moore -- and so there is the usual collection of shapeshifting and chicanery, none of which seemed as compelling to me as in other Christopher Moore novels. However, I'm giving this book 4 stars because I think he's a genius and should be encouraged.
I found myself a bit muddled up in the plot at some points and the Native American names didn't help for some reason. I think sometimes too much research shows up on the page. Moore researches his novels. In "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" the research didn't show up as much but added so much; in this book, in my opinion, it showed up a lot and added little.
Still, Moore rests triumphantly head and shoulders above the competition.
