Summary: A very fun, excellent read
Review: Moore's style of writing is hilarious... very witty and original way of looking at things. Quality characters, storytelling, setting (love how he involved the nuiances of San Francisco into the story).... Bloodsucking Fiends is my first Moore book, and I'll definitely be reading another very soon.

Summary: Kept me up nights...
Review: Quick personal note; My wife and I have twin 18 month old boys. I stay home with them during the day and work until 1:30 AM. Time is at a premium in my life right now. There's not much to spare and whatever spare time I can get a hold of would most likely be better spent sleeping. That being said, Christopher Moore's Blood Sucking Fiends hooked me the first night I opened the cover and kept me up until nearly 4AM.I am a long time fan of horror and it would take quite some book to unnerve me to the point of insomnia. It wasn't a late night case of the heeby-jeebies that kept me up. It was the laughter and engaging characters. Moore has a relaxed witty style that translates to a very fast read. All of the characters in Fiends are incredibly likeable (save one) and the story is humorous and engaging. This fresh take on the joys and advantages of being a vampire set in San Franscisco made me want to walk the city and see the sites. I longed to meet a vivacious red-headed blood sucker who would set me up in an apartment and treat me like a cross between Stoker's Renfield and one of Cher's boy toys. I wanted to take the emperor to lunch with his dogs and become engaged to seven Chinese brothers so they could get their green cards. I wanted to work late nights stocking shelves in a supermarket and go bowling with frozen turkeys. (Oh, wait a sec. I have worked in a supermarket overnight and Moore knows exactly what goes on there.) Christopher Moore weaves all of the above seamlessly and with great humor and affection to create one of the most enjoyable reads of recent memory. More Moore is on it's way to my house as we speak and I can't wait to read his advice on "Practical Demonkeeping" and see what happens in his world when a giant reptile is awakened by radioactive waste in "The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove". I may have a new favorite author.

Summary: An excellent book from and excellent author.
Review: This was an excellent book. It had comedy, sex scenes, dead hobos, vampires,action, and drama. It never lost its edge anywhere in the book. Though then ending of the 2nd to last chapter was sad and i would have been dissapointed if it ended the way that chapter did, but christopher moore wrote an excellent ending and gave everybody the ending that they wanted. I love this book and every book he wrote, he develops characters very well and gives great descriptions of them, i recomend this book to everyone and i also recomend his other books too.
