Funny stuff! I definitely found this funnier than book 2 in the series.This book was a very satisfying ending to the trilogy.
I mean a pack of vampire cats wreaking havoc on San Francisco...what's not to love?!?
What to listen to while reading...

What a fabulous ending to a great series and the perfect remedy to the saccharine-sweet Twilight romance. The content is mature and strange (not for the faint of heart). But who can't love a story with Chet, the huge, shaved vampire cat?

Oh hey, I read this a couple weeks ago! Good, but not as good as the other Moore I've read.

Easily up there with Good Omens as one of the funniest books I've ever read. I frequently found myself cackling madly on a crowded train, so read with caution in public. I can't believe I've never read Moore's work before but I'll be on the lookout for his others at the library.

I wanted to like it more, but like the last book, the storyline was played out. Actually, I take that back. The story in Bite Me is actually better than in You Suck, but the presence of Abby Normal's POV once again ruined the book for me. She made me think of what a vampire might be like if my 13 year old niece became one, and I wouldn't want to slog through reading that diary either. Please don't write about her again, Mr. Moore.

The character I enjoy least is the one providing the main narrative in this installment. While I did enjoy it, this means it is my least favorite of the three.

I don't think I can even begin to explain the appeal of these books. A synopsis is going to make it sound ridiculous. A giant shaved vampire cat named Chet is stalking the San Francisco night? Puh-leeze.
Except that leaves out Abby Normal, Emergency Backup Mistress of the Greater Bay Area Night. I. Heart. This. Chick.
Abby is hilarious! I loved her in [b:You Suck: A Love Story|33453|You Suck A Love Story (Love Story, #2)|Christopher Moore|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168444145s/33453.jpg|2015399] and I was thrilled when I found out that she tells most of this newest story. She makes grown men cry. She intimidates the hell out of Foo-Dog, her manga-haired love monkey. I mean, she wears Skankenstein boots. What more do you need to know?
There are vampire cats, rats, and birds; a Samurai-sword-wielding old guy; UV-light jackets and dusters; UV, um, bazookas? that rack up serious points in the vampire elimination game; vampires climbing face first down walls a la Dracula; a fortune-teller who actually gets it right but doesn't understand any of it; a sea captain named Kona who speaks like a Rasta; truly crazy vampires; and overseeing it all is The Emperor of San Francisco, protector of Alcatraz, Sausalito, and Treasure Island and his two loyal men, Bummer and Lazarus. Sound over the top? It is. But it's so much fun.
So take note beyotches. There will be a test.
Yes, that's pretty much a quote. If it offended you, steer clear because this won't be the book for you. The f-bomb abounds.
