Brilliantly funny sequel to Blood Sucking Fiends (  ) amobogio | Oct 23, 2009 |  I have such a mixed relationship with Christopher Moore's books. This one may have been better if I had read _Bloodsucking Fiends_ before it. All the same, I found this plot and characters hard to engage with and then end just seemed a little too tidy. All in all, Moore just seems to be hit or miss to me. (  ) ascgrrl | Oct 21, 2009 | I thought it would be funnier (  ) gerleliz | Oct 18, 2009 | 'You Suck' is the sequel to 'Bloodsucking Fiends' and follows similar territory to the first, with two fresh vampires discovering that it's not easy being nocturnal killers. The night-crew from the first book are back too, as are the requisite detectives, although it's no simple rehash. This time a couple of new characters appears, one utilising her emo-goth diary as a form of narrative, which is frequently witty and satirical. The other is a blue hooker! The injection of the new characters mix up what could have been an unnecessary second novel. The humour is less laugh-out-loud than previous books, however it still brims with clever humour. The finale is a bit of a cop-out, although doesn't detract from the overall feel. Overall, 'You Suck' is page-turner and is a fun sequel. (  ) SonicQuack | Sep 9, 2009 | Christopher Moore is a comedic genius! You suck is the story of new vampires and their trials and tribulations learning the ropes...from finding a minion to dealing with a blue hooker. (  ) Djupstrom | Aug 17, 2009 | 
 As with his best work, there’s a fundamental sweetness beneath the antics. And the characters are developed with real affection. That most of them are dead is never allowed to seem sad. And for parasitical bloodsuckers, they do remarkably little harm.
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060590297, Hardcover)"You bitch, you killed me. You suck!" Being dead sucks. Make that being undead sucks. Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody—the woman of his dreams—is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too. For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, someone has to run errands during daylight hours!) Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new members into the club. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue. And that really sucks.
