You will never look at weed wackers the same! Enough said.
One of his better books. I laughed so much. I must be warped.
"I 'spose a man run outta sweet talk and liquor, he gots to go to mo' di-rect measures," the old Black man said to the bar with a dazzling grin.
The ending bumped up my affection for the story but overall not my favorite Moore book.
Bizarre and occasionally funny. Mostly pretty bizarre.
This is actually closer to a 3.5 for me. I enjoy Christopher Moore and they always both disturb me and make me crack up.

It's been 8 years since I've read a Christopher Moore book, and I liked this one significantly less. I'm not sure if my sense of humor has changed or if the subject matter is just less interesting. I'm leaning towards subject matter because the previous two that I've read were Lamb and A Dirty Job, both of which are still topics I would read about now. And this one has its positives for sure. Moore is a good writer in that he manages to balance absurdity with characters you can root for. Not only that, but said characters show actual growth as the plot moves along, which I'm always a fan of. What I'm absolutely not a fan of is bestiality, and I would not have read this if I knew how heavily it plays into the story. Fictional sea monster or not, it counts, and it's just not something I find humor in. And it's not even just limited to the sea monster either. So it pretty much ruined the story for me, but at least I'm reminded that I do like Moore as an author and I'm going to try again (just being a little more careful to figure out the subject matter first).
This was a great book! I read it on vacation so lets be honest life seems magical when on vacation but I really enjoyed the story!!
