Again crazy book, at moments I found it even a bit boring...not my favorite book from C. Moore, therefore ***
It's a fun, quick read, reminiscent of Tom Robbins (which I think is a common comparison made), though the dialogue is a little stiff and a bit predictable. I'm sure to read more of Moore, though, and am still listening to 'Fluke' (will hopefully finish it over the new year when we drive up to Wisconsin!).
This is my 4th Moore book, and I enjoyed it almost as much as the previous three. I say 'almost' because, while it is a very good book, I didn't find it to be as laugh-out-loud funny as some of his others. No worries though. 'The Lust Lizard...' is filled with just the type of characters that we've come to expect and love from Mr. Moore. The pot-head slacker Constable...the washed-up 'crazy' B movie actress...the bitchy half-bionic bar keep...a blues singer from the bayou who's 'got the blues on him'...the materialistic town psychiatrist who tries to make her wrongs right...and a whole bunch more who are just as screwed up.
I definitely recommend this if you're at all interested. However, if this is your first trip through a Christopher Moore book, I don't know that I'd recommend starting here. You may want to try 'The Sequined Love Nun', or 'The Stupidest Angel'. Those two are hilarious. Of course, you can always start here too...I just found it to be a bit more subdued in its humor. Overall, I just LOVE Mr. Moore, and can't wait to start my next book of his. I think I'm gonna go with 'Lamb' this time around. I know I won't be disappointed!

I love Christopher Moore books and this one didn't disappoint me. The characters had quite distinct personalities and great quirks and oddities. My favorites are Molly and Mavis, they don't just give a rat's ass about what you think. As a biologist, I appreciate the animal behavior that was included in the story.
Once again Christopher Moore had me literally hanging on edge to find out what exactly was going to happen with the Lust Lizard.
