Average Rating: 
Rating: - SWF seeks romantic nights; idle (very idle) days
Charmingly naive young man meets, falls in love with, and then finds it's not easy living with a gorgeous vampire. Improvisation is called for in the form of window shades, freeazer chest, and ... snapping turtles??? Angered and menacing vampire gent adds another level of challenge.
Wow! This energetically hilarious story passed the ultimate test: my wife became suspicious when she heard me laughing out loud (something I do every 25,000 books or so). Then she read it and understood. Christopher Moore delivers
fast-paced supernatual hijinks, with a peppering of pinpoint jabs at the inanity of modern urban living. The dialog must be among the wittiest of any American author today. It's one thing to chuckle over a funny quote; a real treat to laugh anew when deadpan rejoinders add a whole new twist to the humor. Add a host of imaginative complications, and the reader had better hang on for this wild jaunt.
Like Moore's other novels (_Coyote Blue_ Practical Demonkeeping_) the satire is decidedly upbeat. He manages to let the redemptive qualities of his characters sneak through all the farcical shenanigans. As a result, you'll cheer for these night-shift kids as they stumble all over themselves (and a few bodies) to find true happiness. A book easily finished before sunrise!
Rating: - Another Great from Christopher Moore!
I am so glad I discovered this author. This is the second book of his I have read and I liked it almost as much as Lust Lizard. This one is set in San Francisco where an ancient vampire creates a fledgling vampire of Jody for his own entertainment. Jody is left unaware of what she has become or how to adapt to her new form, and befriends a human as a companion and protector. What comes next is a wild ride for Jody, Tommy, the police, a local character known to all as The Emperor, and all who cross their paths. Filled with humor, adventure, and love, this story will keep you entertained from page one to the end!
Rating: - Vampires funny? Read it and weep with laughter!
After reading "Coyote Blue", I thought there might be a letdown with another Moore book. Could he possibly be as funny? Well, let me tell you, he's even funnier in this wonderful tale of vampires. His cast of characters, which include the Emperor, dogs in pie-tin helmets, the Animals (a gang of after hours stock boys), a naive young would-be writer from Indiana, snapping turtles, a gay cop-straight cop pair, and a couple of irreverent bronze-plating artists, make for a wild romp. My one problem is that only people who are familiar with Christopher Moore would contact this site. With all these 10's as reviews, how do we get others to become as in love with Moore as we are? Is there a rave review section (all l0's) that people can contact? If not, there should be. Enough! I must go to start reading "Island of the Sequined Love Nun." Is that a title, or what?
