This book was truly hilarious and entertaining. Moore's books are so easy to read and the characters so interesting that you can blow through them before you even know it. Definitely recommend this to anyone that needs to read something light and funny :D

For the entire first half of this book, I was ready to give it a five-star review - some seriously funny stuff here. And then it started to go sideways. The whole "falling in love with someone you've just met" thing has always driven me nuts, which might have something to do with it, but aside of a few funny moments, the second half of the book just left me unsatisfied to the point I stopped caring about most of the characters.
Worth a read if you've read and liked Moore's other books, but there are others I'd recommend first.

Loved it. Annoyed that it took me so long to read, but that's my life more than the book -- if I could have sat down in one sitting and read it through, I would have.
Loved the writing about Crow culture, the magic intertwined with the story of returning home, and finding home on the way. Loved the humor and and the story-telling.

50 Book Reading Challenge 2015: A book with a color in the title
Finding a book with a color in the title that you want to read is quite a bit trickier than I thought it would be. I kept picking up other things but when this was presented to me as an option, I got super excited! Christopher Moore is one of my favorites and his books are always funny--perfect for a rainy winter afternoon. This is definitely one of his stranger stories, however. I wasn't quite sure I ever really liked the main character (or any of them, really). The book still had funny moments and I enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but shake the feeling that it was missing something. It is still worth a read and I did enjoy learning more about Coyote, the trickster, even if these stories don't quite mesh up with the real Native American tales.

Not quite as enjoyable as all the other novels I've read by Moore up until now, but I suspect it is because I made the mistake of reading it immediately after American Gods. There were still many moments of laughing out loud, as is always the case with his stories.

Hm, usually, I find Mr Moore's stories entertaining and smirk invoking. Not so much with this novel. This story was all over the place and didn't really have a central grounding point. Ugh, whatever.

An irreverent and witty satire/modern-day fable -- I'm still laughing about the image of Coyote the trickster in a Las Vegas casino! :)

Liked it, didn't love it. Still hilarious, in true Moore fashion.
