Commentary Conducive To Books You Suck (A Love Story #2)
Being undead sucks. Literally.Just ask C. Thomas Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody, is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too. For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues.
But word has it that the vampire who initially nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue.
And that really sucks.

First of all, I would normally never even think to read this book. But as I was looking at the clearance rack, a kid, ie teenager, approached me. "Hey, do you like vampires?"I was disturbed how unfazed I was with the completely random question."Sure." Slightly wary."Have you heard of Moore?"He's a vampire now? That answers a lot of questions."Michael Moore?" I'm riffling books hoping he'll go away."No, not that crazy one, this is a Christopher Moore. He's hilarious and has his own cult started."First of all, I would normally never even think to read this book. But as I was looking at the clearance rack, a kid, ie teenager, approached me.

Years ago, I read Lamb by Christopher Moore and loved it. I'm not sure if my tastes have changed or if Moore's output is just not consistent, but I hated this book. In fact, this may actually be the worst book I've ever read. I considered quitting at several points, but with books and movies I have a need to see how they end even if I don't like them, so I trudged on.For starters, I didn't realize right away that this book is a sequel. If this is indicated anywhere on my copy of the book, I sure
I enjoyed this installment of A Love Story more than I did BLOODSUCKING FIENDS. I suppose because this didn't contain a "comedic" scene about consent. In this case, the tone is also much more consistently black humor. Our protagonists are now both vampires and bodies start dropping around them constantly with a blue-skinned hooker, a returned ancient vampire fresh from being bronzed, and really bad self-control from our antiheroes. The real gem of the book, though, is Allison a.k.a Abby Normal
I started this and thought "Really? This is dumb." Then I looked up my friend's reviews and was like"Hmmmm, they seem to like it." It was a challenge book for me, so I decided to keep onhoping it would get tolerable at least. As I got further, I found that I was more interested.had a few chuckles. I started thinking"Oh yeah, I remember these charactersthey are quite funny." By 80%I was LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!! Too funny. Christopher Moore you crack me up! Abby Normal is "the bomb!" Not quite a 4,
I'm not into vampire stories at all, and I'm pretty sure I never will be. But I made an exception here because this series is seriously funny, like laugh out loud funny, the kind of funny where the iced mocha that I just took a sip of shoots right back out of my mouth because I'm laughing so hard at something I just read. The first book was hysterical. This second book in the trilogy even more so. It's just what I needed during a week that kinda sucked.
I didn't think this book was that good. The first book was funny, but the jokes in this just got too juvenile, I think. The characters just aren't interesting.Like the first book, it is very slow paced for the most of it, and then ''the big battle'' at the end goes over pretty quickly. And again it cuts between different characters way too fast.You don't have to read the first book to read this one, as everything is explained.
