He never rests on his pile of laurels, however, often stretching in new directions and tackling more challenging topics, as he did with Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings, which investigates the plight of whales off the coast of Hawaii, and in this novel, in which he gives new life to the King Lear story. Whether he is writing a mystery that includes a talking, sunglass-wearing fruit bat in Island of the Sequined Love Nun, a satire about the “missing years” in the life of Jesus in Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal, or a love story about vampires in Bloodsucking Fiends and its sequel You Suck, Christopher Moore never fails to entertain and astonish the reader with his wacky take on life and love. That said, if that’s the sort of thing you think you might enjoy, then you have happened upon the perfect story.” If that sort of thing bothers you, then gentle reader pass by, for we endeavor only to entertain, not to offend. Herein you will find gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity, as well as non-traditional grammar, split infinitives, and the odd wank.

There were only a few moments when I started to lose track of which woman was which, but not for very long.

This book has a tremendous number of characters, but he was able to differentiate among all of them really well. The book does drag in a few sections, and the ending is a little unsatisfying, but overall as an audio book I was really happy with this one and will be looking for more Christopher Moore books for our next road trip.Īudio Review: Fisher Stevens was fantastic. There’s definitely some sections that pushed my comfort level in terms of violence and sex, but nothing too over the top. I think the book would make a fantastic movie, full of action and really goofy descriptions. His writing is so descriptive, it’s easy to imagine what is going on, especially as you’re listening to the book. I think we were both pleasantly surprised at how awesome the book turned out to be, keeping us laughing almost the entire trip. Boyfriend likes books that are a little twisted, so I figured this might fit the bill.

I grabbed this book on a whim from the library because Boyfriend and I wanted an audio book for a roadtrip earlier this summer. Charlie has a new job: working for Death. All of a sudden, he starts seeing everyday objects glowing red, strange bird-women screeching a him from the sewers, and mysterious names and numbers showing up in his planner. But after his wife dies during childbirth, leaving him a single dad to his daughter Sophie, Charlie’s life takes a permanent turn towards the weird. Book Review: Charlie Asher’s life is pretty darn normal.
