I think this may be the first book I've read by this author. Great fun.
Really enjoyed most of this book, but it sort of falls apart at the end. I didn't like 'solution to the problem' at all (trying to avoid spoilers), and the last chapter was funny, but felt like it was there purely to help the book reach a wordcount.
Still, entertaining enough, and I'll probably track down some of the other books featuring these characters at some point.

12/16 I sure needed that this Christmas season. Always a good read... :)
12/22 Its becoming a tradition for me to read this every Christmas.... especially the harder ones. Brains first. Then IKEA.

I'd been wanting to read this for a while. Thanks to my sister-in-law's boyfriend, I didn't have to: he lent me the audio CD on a trip to Nashville and I listened to it the minute I was able. This is a wonderfully stupid book - many good laughs and brain-eating zombies. Brain-eating zombies always liven up things in a story (so to speak). Anyway, this is part of Moore's Tucker Case/Pine Cove books and it is a most welcome/mindless addition.

Fun, crazy read. Christmas Mayhem perfectly sums it up.

I'm not really sure what to say about this honestly. It was...weird. Not ha-ha funny, but some humor. It's definitely OTT and crazy, but there was also something to the way things unfolded that I was actually having hopes for some of these characters and wanted things to work out in a certain way, so that is something. I would read more from this author.
This book is just plain, good fun. It's like Christopher Moore just unleashed all his ideas and humor without worrying too much if it made sense or not. A hysterically fun read, even if it does go totally off the rails about halfway through. If you like his work, you'll like this. If you've never read anything by him, you might want to start somewhere else (or at least know that it's not normally quite *so* weird.)
The bonus material was impressive. I'm used to getting half a chapter or so, but this was several full chapters of Sacre Bleu. More than enough to get a feel for the tone and idea of that story.
