this book feels like a very long letter from a beloved friend. i look forward to reading it again...something i don't say about many books.

You Suck: A Love Story by Christopher Moore
You Suck: A Love Story

hearing that a sequel is in the works usually makes my stomach turn, but not when it is flowing from the hand of christopher moore. i wouldn't even term this a sequel - it is merely a continuation of "bloodsucking fiends" with the same wit, imagination, and brilliant language as the first. he never disappoints.

a fascinating book and perfect for this time of year. although she was always a little tight and formal in her writing, this is both entertaining and informative.

short and powerful, these stories are in turn bizarre and touching. give him a try, you won't be sorry.

i still don't understand why this book, and christopher moore himself, weren't burned at the stake. has he succeeded where so many others have failed in flying below the radar of the religious right? in any case, i'm grateful that he wrote this and that i read it. i find him hilarious, imaginative, curious, and comfortable. and this book did not disappoint in any way. if you need to disappear from everyday life, pick up this or any of his books. enjoy.
