I quick trip to Christopher Moore land before I begin my “summer reading project”. As always fun, fast, and weird (but in a good sense, not a creepy uncle kinda way).

BTW - I finished Howl’s Moving Caster PRIOR to this, but have been working on the review for some time. It is a bit longer as I am comparing the book and film - it should be up soon.

Summary

As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Samson Hunts Alone — until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is Samuel Hunter, a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo, and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers him the dangerous gift of love — in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid — and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquillity into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam . . . and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.

Opinion

I really like Christopher Moore’s stuff. I think it is the wacky factor. I like books that entertain, and his always do. This one is not in short supply of FUN. It is a very fast read but a very good one. I liked it. I know short and sweet but that’s about it. No heavy meaning, no great comparisons. Just fun, and that is definitely what I was looking for.
