2010 Book 9 - You Suck

I cannot say enough great things about Christopher Moore. He one of my all time favorite authors, even though I know there will be a lot of people out there that probably won't appreciate his works, but I love him. I purchased this book early on when I moved out to California because I found a signed copy of it in one of the smaller bookstores out there. (Christopher Moore is from San Francisco and many of his books are actually based there or the surrounding area, and his characters will oftentimes show up in minor roles in another book.) You Suck is a sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story. Here is what is written on the inside cover:

Being dead sucks. Make that being undead sucks. Literally. Just ask Thomas C. Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody - the woman of his dreams - 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. Like how much Jody should teach Tommy about his new superpowers (and how much he needs to learn on his own). Plus there's Tommy's cute new minion, sixteen-year-old goth girl Abby Normal. (Well, someone has to run errands during daylight hours!)

Making the relationship work, however, is the least of Jody and Tommy's problems. Word has it that the vampire who nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting any new member into the club. 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.

And, I just realized that there is a third one in this series released less than a month ago, but before I can get to that one I have to read my most recent Christopher Moore purchase Fool: A Novel. I'll let you know what that one is about soon....
