Member recommendations

  1. Dr.Science recommends Who's Afraid of Beowulf? by Tom Holt, "The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most (see more) certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books including Expecting Someone Taller, and Flying Dutch, but they may be difficult to find at your library or bookstore."

Now this is the Christopher Moore I initially raved about. This is light and irreverent and a lot of fun. The main characters are likeable and the supporting cast strong. The 'Animals', Tommy’s fellow night-shifters at the Safeway, seemed like precursors to the 'Nerd Herd' on Chuck. Moore explores some of the little talked about side effects of becoming a vampire, like having to quit your job and figuring out what to do when your car gets towed and you can’t retrieve it in the daytime. Then again, it’s hard to beat the perks of perfect skin and superhuman strength. This is the first book of a series, and we’ll definitely be listening to You Suck sometime this year. ( )

an easy traveling read, by an irreverent but at times clever author. Better than chick lit, but sort of at the same level of mindpower to read ~ likeable characters develop too quickly, but there's a sequel, so we'll see where it goes from here. Thank goodness for christoper moore....cuz i can't stand chick lit and just need an easy read every so often! ( )

Fantastic! Extremely well written - I kept reading aloud passages I liked, very funny and unpredictable. One of the better Christopher Moore books I've read. ( )

Cute take on the vampire genre, I really found this story to be lots of fun. Witty and smart, Christopher Moore puts his quirky spin on the children of the night. Great sense of humor, smooth writing style--He is one of my favorites. I recommend this for anyone looking for an enjoyable, quick read. ( )

A fun fast read. I am looking forward to the life of Flood and Jody in You Suck. I thought that the vampire mythology was very good. Different and unique, with enough similiarities to other vampire mythologies to seem somewhat believable. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0380728133, Paperback)

Here's something different: a vampire novel that's light, funny, and not at all hackneyed. Between scenes of punks bowling frozen turkeys on the graveyard shift in a supermarket, or snapping turtles loose in a loft and gnawing on designer shoes, this novel has comic charm to spare. But it also packs an appealingly downbeat message about the consumer culture: Becoming a vampire has given the twentysomething heroine "a crampless case of rattlesnake PMS"--a grumpy mood in which she realizes that she can dress to the nines as a "Donner Party Barbie" and still end up disillusioned and unhappy, just another slacker doing her own laundry and watching sucky TV 'til the sun rises.
