wpsmith17 's review for:

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove by Christopher Moore
4.0

Christopher Moore writes the right kind of characters. Sure, his plots twist and turn into unpredictable directions, like a snake, high on LSD, dancing the mamba. But I don't read him (or any book) for the plot. I read it for the characters. In this, Christopher Moore excels. His characters charmed the hell out of me. Zany but real, I think I've met a few of them in real life.

Read this book. If you're not sold in the first 20 pages, hell if I know what will appeal to you.
