A monstrous horde of vampire cats stalks the streets of San Francisco and only Abby Normal can save the city... with the help of Tommy Flood, Jody, the Animals, Foo, Jared, Cavuto and Rivera. Will Abby fulfill her lifelong ambition of becoming a creature of the night?
Bite Me is a pretty damn funny book. The chapters written from Abby's point of view were hilarious and Tommy and Jody's relationship progressed to the next step. The supporting characters were also good and Foo Dog's More...

So vampire cats are threatening the city in Moore’s third novel in this series. But all the characters are so focused on the evil kitties that they miss a much more dangerous problem. It seems like the time-space continuum is collapsing in San Francisco. The first book, Bloodsucking Fiends, was written and took place in 1995 and supposedly only three months have elapsed since the events in it. Yet everyone is texting on cell phones, using wireless laptops, blogging, playing X-Box and saying

The third book in Christopher Moore's Love Story trilogy is on par with the second, You Suck but not as good as the first, Bloodsucking Fiends. But let's explore the really cool parts of this novel...
1) Vampire Kitties. (awwww!)
2) The "ewwww!" factor: OK, so vampire kitties are cute but as my father would say, "The problem with kittens is they grow up to be cats." One of the great things about the author is he can go from "awwww!" to "ewwww! More...

While I absolutely love Abby Normal, and was very excited to have another tale narrated almost entirely by her, this did not quite live up to the standard set by 'You Suck'.
Was it funny as fuck? Of course. All Christopher Moore novels are. Did it feature a lot of well loved familiar faces? Certainly. Could it slap the crap out of 'Twilight' and leave it crying like the little bitch that it is, on the playground after school? You bet my sweet shapely behind it could.

Okay let's be really honest here. Why the fuck do I read Christopher Moore? They are reasonably mediocre. I mean they aren't bad, but they certainly aren't very good either. Basically as I said to someone when I began this book. Moore is the stupid version of Tom Robbins. My problem here is not even that I eventually read him, I mean I periodically read a kathy reichs book or a terry pratchett, but that a new book comes out and I literally jump on it. I stopped reading palahniuk when he stopped

I heart Abby Normal (which of course is not her real name but the one she gave herself after watching "Young Frankenstein") However, she is the most bad-ass teenager that has ever been turned into a Nossssss-fratu as well as the most comical of them all. Why do I like her so much, well let me give you a glimpse into her crazy goth, emo, punk rock head:

Forget Stephanie Meyer, THESE are the vampires you want to hang out with because they will make you laugh constantly. This is a fang-filled, free-for-all festival of sex, vampire cats, fringe science and teenage minion angst. It picks up where "You Suck" left off without missing a beat and it is of course full of Moore's stylistic raunchy humor that has made him a superstar to the slightly twisted reader like myself. FANGtastic read with a surprise ending--don't

Christopher Moore does it again, with his trademark humor and amazing style. Bite Me is the ending (?) book in the saga started by Bloodsucking Fiends, picking up right where You Suck left off.
It moves along with speed of a kid on pixie sticks and caffeine, since its narrated by Abby, who was introduced in the second book as Jody and Tommy's day minion. But that is entirely ok, but it works with the rather..unique storyline, which features, um, a rather large and anger-filled vam More...

This was, by far, my favorite of the three in the "bloodsucking fiends" trilogy. Mostly narrated by Abigail Von Normal, "Emergency Back-Up Mistress of the Greater Bay Area Night," the book is great fun to read, and made me laugh repeatedly - capturing both the drama and the humor of a teenage goth girl's journal.

My discovery of Christopher Moore's vampire novels actually began with Bite Me: A Love Story. Not realizing it was part of a series, I picked it up at the library, read the first chapter, and was thoroughly confused. A friend pointed me to the two books that preceded this one, which I dutifully read so that I could tackle this one with some clue about what is going on.

The infuriating Goth Abby Normal, whom I first encountered in Moore's A Dirty Job -- a novel I liked very much -- here takes more or less centre stage in a tale of vampirism, narrating a good deal of the book in her own inimitable style. Others of the characters from A Dirty Job reprise here (and, I sense, have already done so in the intervening novel You Suck). The tale is very funny -- I laughed a lot -- and quite extraordinarily smutty, yet I came away from it dissatisfied: where A Dirty More...

I picked this up (not realizing that it was book #3 in a series) because I have always liked Moore's the wicked use of ironic humor. Still it took me a while to get into the text. He does a rapid fire synopsis of "all that went before" in the voice of one protagonist, a teenage girl who does a cross between valley-girl speak ("kayso I was all like...") and chat speak (Tnx L8rz bi) that was hard to read. I think the biggest obstacle to smooth flow of the storyline was that Moo

2.5 stars. I thought the first two books in this trilogy (I hope) were amusing, but this book really fell flat. When the last book ended, vampires Jody and Tommy (aka Flood) were imprisoned in a metal statue by their self-proclaimed minion, a goth teen named Abby. Now, a huge vampire cat named Chet is attacking the city, Abby's living in their apartment off stolen money, and Abby's boyfriend is trying to solve the problem of vampires in general.

In true Christopher Moore fashion, you look forward to reading his books like you used to look forward to Christmas morning. Someone magical, who seemed to know exactly what you wanted and needed, put everything together for you and all you had to do was wait, and when you woke up, and then surprise! Glee! Happiness! Suspense! and Joy!.

I love Christopher Moore, and I do think that it's time for him to reap some serious moolah from the current vampire craze, since he wrote the first book in this series in 1995. Bite Me: A Love Story brings back the casts of Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story and You Suck: A Love Story, as well as a pack of vampire kitties.

K, so there's this writer named Christopher Moore (he writes funny books) and he's written this totally awesome character named Abby Normal who is cursed with being terminally alive when she wants to be a rocking goth vampire goddess. She'd previously been the chief minion to the Dark Lord Fogg and his hawt vampire girlfriend Countess Jody. They'd managed to avoid getting killed by Jody's father (as in vampire daddy, not human daddy) but were on the verge of having a split of the romantic kind w

I’ve always loved to laugh (hey, who doesn’t?) and grew up on the classics like Abbot & Costello, the Three Stooges, Laugh In, Bill Cosby’s comedy albums (yes, on vinyl), Saturday Night Live, and of course, tons of Saturday morning cartoons from the 60′s, 70′s & 80′s. So, in honor of humor month, I thought I’d feature some of my favorite funny books this week. First up is an author I’ve mentioned before, Christopher Moore, author of A Dirty Job.

For Halloween this year, I went as a bad standup-comedian vampire. I wrote some jokes that followed typical standup subject matter but entirely without punch lines. My style was Steven Wright minus the payoff. I dressed as a vampire, wore realistic fangs, too, and performed the routine at two parties with a plant in the audience each time directed to shout, after four jokes, “You suck!!!”

This is the third book in a series (after Blood Sucking Fiends and You Suck)in which Moore has set a small group of young vampires trying to make their way in San Francisco. Things have actually gotten quite quiet in the area of drinking blood until a giant vampire cat seems to set its eyes on the local population while also breeding a small army of vampy kitties.

As the third book in this series, Bite Me, simply does not live up to the standards set by its predecessors. A considerable chunk of the character's time is spent trying to find one another, Jody trying to find Tommy, Tommy trying to find Jody, Abby trying to find either or both of them. This does little to enhance the plot and seems to be used more as a device to show the passage of time. When they finally did find one another, the characters were flat and boring. I missed the banter that l

My thoughts...It is been a while since I visited the world of Christopher Moore. It is a place of quick wit, snarky behavior, and snappy characters. This book starts off with Abby and her high-tech boyfriend living in the loft. Things get a bit hairy when Chet, the vampire cat, starts making more vampire animals. The town of San Francisco seems to be under attack. Readers will get to see their favorites, including Jody, Tommy, and the Animals. We also get to meet Okata, who turned out to b

For some reason, I was first confused when I came across this new release by Chris Moore - one of my all-time favorite authors; I thought I might have already read it. This was based on the title alone. I thought, "Maybe he's doing what he did to "Lamb" or to "Stupidest Angel", and re-releasing it to cash in on the "Twilight" craze."

As far as I'm concerned, this is as close to perfect Christopher Moore gets. It takes its place with Fluke and Coyote Blue as one of my favorites.

Sometimes when he has a plot this good, the characters just race through it as static actors in slapstick, but not here.

Once again, Christopher Moore shines as a comedic writer with his latest book, part three of a vampire trilogy that is so much more fun to read than the current popular vamp books that are adored by 13 year old girls. You know the ones.

I like Abby Normal, but... I don't know. Starting multiple paragraphs in a row with "kayso" -- and the repetitive "she was like and then I was like and she was like" -- irritated me. Yes, the voice probably does fit a teenage girl. But there's a reason I don't enjoy reading blogs written by teenage girls. (Actually, that's the reason I try to avoid rereading my own blog posts from teenage years, but that's besides the point.)
