I love Christopher Moore. His books are quirky, bizarre, and always hilarious. This book is no exception. It's a delightful, quick read.

I love Christopher Moore, but this isn't my favorite of his works. I found the main character annoying. I think she was supposed to be annoying, but it was a little over the top. Definitely think an againsty teen would find it hilarious, though.

Slightly better than You Suck, but Abby is more annoying.

So I was very slowly moving through this book. I would pick it up, read a chapter, get bored, set it down, pick it up a few hours, arrive at boredom again. Seriously it was a vicious cycle...
And then one night I got a little drunk and decided to read it and lo and behold... I found this book quite hilarious! All the stupid crap that came out of Abby's mouth was so ridiculous that I couldn't stop myself from snickering at it.
I still hate Abby with a burning passion but this is a good "Read while you're drunk" book.

Christopher Moore is a very readable author that is consistently "good". I haven't met a Moore book I've truly loved yet (Serpent of Venice is closest) and Bite Me certainly isn't the first. It's simple, quickly paced, humorous, sexy, and creative enough to keep you interested. Moore likes wacky situations and characters more than strong narrative, and that leaves his endings always feeling lightweight and anticlimactic.

- a lot of racism
- the r slur
- Making EXTREMELY TOO MUCH LIGHT OF ABBY BEING UNDERAGE
- yet still some of the best homeless-sympathetic representation - like the fact that people are noticing that homeless people go missing is extremely atypical of every single genre where death happens. And it's accurate to reality.
Overall complicated feelings! There definitely was some funny stuff like with the tail and the lice and Chet and turkey bowling and stuff but yeah
