linnaeus 's review for:

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore
4.0

A fun romp, that is closer to 3.5 stares rounded up. The characters could be a bit richer, but they are distinctive and likeable enough in spite of some cartoonish pathologies. Probably the least interesting part is the villain of the piece who is mostly necessary only to bring things to a close.

It's not Pratchett anarchic, but it's also not high fantasy, and the modern setting lends some fun twists. If you like comedy in your fantasy it's definitely worth checking out.
