A review by abisnail_nightingale
The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore

5.0

I think this book was as close to an acid trip as I’ll ever get. I need some time to sort out the chaos on this one.

Alright. Upon further reflection, I think this novel deserves five stars for being the most bizarre book I’ve ever read - with more twists and turns that a DNA strand. If you want to enter a completely different world, completely suspend and yes also be powered by disbelief, and stand agog for 5-6 hours, this is the book for you.

Absurdism and irony culminate into a radioactive, psychedelic cocktail that is sure to wrench you out of your realist despair.
