Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore
4.0
OK - This was just fun. I tried to be jaded and above this book (cuz I am sporting an attitude problem at the moment and after reading about 1000 vampire books I think I am all that when it comes to Vampy Fiction), But truth be told I fell into this story and enjoyed it all the way to the end.
The characters were great. Just when you think you have them pigeon-holed into their stereotype they surprise you with a thought or insight and you have to reevaluate. I love that it's ridiculously absurd and yet your heart breaks just a little here and there. (I am thinking of Zelda and Scott as well as the last seen with the Emperor.)
And I love that even though you know what is going to happen - the end is just open enough to keep your head pondering the "What ifs?" even after you tuck the book away and go back to your life.
Yeah. I will read more Christopher Moore.
