2.5 - 3 // you know those books where you can just tell a guy wrote it without needing to know the author's gender prior, yeah, 'twas this.


not my particular style of humor but i respect it for what it is + it provided me the stupid mindless campy october vibes i want nowwww

This book was well written but I just never connected with the characters. The two main characters just fit the stereo typical dumb young type. I disliked Thomas and his "boy" antics, his friends just as irritating. Jody, well she becomes a vampire unwillingly, she struggles with the blood need, kind of. She feels lonely, she needs somebody that can understand her needs, after only a couple of weeks ??? She never gives the another a chance. I started liking it more towards the end, then everything switched back ?!?!? Needless to say I hated the ending, and I did not like the characters, but I still enjoyed it.

Fun. Not for kids. At the end of my audio book there was an advertisement that said, "If you liked this book, then you might like Fight Club." So that's interesting.

I'll read the sequel to this. It wasn't as "laugh-out-loud" funny as Lamb but still quite good. Christopher Moore writes some really great characters. And I love to see them reoccur through his stories.

Chris Moore has quickly become one of my favorite authors...which is strange considering I normally only read Historical Fiction, and Southern Fiction. I can't stand Vampire stories, or books that are about impossible things that don't make sense. However, if Mr. Moore is writing it, I'll definitely read it, and likely love it. He's taken me to an island of a sequined love nun, a sleepy cove terrorized by a lusty lizard, even back in time to hang out with Jesus and his buddy Biff. Christopher Moore is one very talented, and very funny guy.

I won't summarize this book since there are SO many reviews here already, so all I can do is recommend it. Actually, I recommend ANY book of his, but if you're new to Mr. Moore, this is a fine place to start. I really enjoyed this totally mismatched duo of Jody, the reluctant vampire, and her boy-toy Tommy, a writer new to the city, and looking for some lovin'. Not sure which Moore book I'll dig into next, but whatever it is, I'm already looking forward to it.

An enjoyable, quick, humorous read. I look forward to reading the other 2 books in this series.

Easy and fun read. I didn't find it to be laugh out loud hysterical, definitely chuckle worthy, but I really enjoyed the narrative.

My second Christopher Moore book and definitely my favorite. Entertaining from start to finish and a very fun take on vampires. Tommy and Jody were both equally likable and I enjoyed alternating between their viewpoints, which is very often not the case when an author shifts back and forth.
