Chris Moore – one of my favorite authors – has a new book out already.
Chris. Dude. Slow down a little, k? You’re gonna burn out.
This is a sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends (A love Story); an utterly fabulous book, just as good as it’s title.
Moore’s written a number of great books, and a smaller number of terrible ones (*cough*fluke*cough*); his last, A Dirty Job, was a step up from his recent run of clever-but-weak work.
Bloodsucking Fiends is always the one I start readers on. If you love it, you’ll love Moore. If you don’t love it, you’ve just seen Moore’s best, so don’t bother to go on.
So I look to a sequel with a small thrill and a large amount of suspicion. Still, though, I believe in Moore; he’s just too damned clever to be done writing great books yet.
I got this last night, but have yet to crack it open. I’m trying to force myself to finish the three books I’m already reading first, but I bet this one wins out by the end of the day.
*sigh*
I haven’t read his stuff yet, but several friends have highly recommended Lamb — The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal and I see that you enjoyed it as well. Methinks it’s time to check this guy out. It’s not as if I have anything else to read—
*looks at growing book stack in bedroom*
Oh, yeah.
CE, start with Blood Sucking Fiends. Lamb was funny, but one of his weaker books. They’re all good (other than fluke which sucked) but BSF is one of the two best (Coyote Blue being the other best)
