kamisha 's review for:
The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove
by Christopher Moore
The second book in the Pine Cove series follows a lustful sea monsters as he climbes out of the ocean and proceeds to snack on the denizens of Pine Cove. Not only does the sea monster sate his appetite, he also inspires lust in all the creatures around him. This, coupled with a very unfortunate "experiment" the local psychiatrist is conducting on her patients involving placebos in place of their normal antidepressants, sends a good majority of the population of Pine Cove into a tailspin.
This book was kooky and bizarre. I definitely enjoyed this one more than I did the first book. It's random and strange, and has some really laugh out loud moments. A couple of characters from the previous book make an appearance, but for the most part this story follows a whole new cast of Pine Cove citizens.
I loved the addition of Steve, the Sea Monster, and his point of view throughout the book. Just like with Catch, the demon in Practical Demonkeeping, he makes for a likeable monster. He's just trying to do his own thing. Survive, make love, and snack on some warmbloods! My other favorite addition in this book was the character of Molly Michon, the has been sci-fi bombshell actress. Her POV was hilarious, genuine, and even heartfelt at times.
Overall, I enjoyed returning to Pine Cove in this book, but aside from the Sea Monster and Molly, I found that I didn't really care about the rest of the characters in the story.
