This book was absolutely frickin' hilarious. I think I officially love Christopher Moore. I was listening to this book on my iPod while my preschoolers were napping today and I had to shush myself because I started laughing so hard. Coyote the Trickster has been one of my favorite characters ever since I started reading old fables when I was in college. I have never read any of the tales that Mr. Moore used for this book, who knows, maybe he made them up, but I loved how he intermingled the tales to explain Coyote and the actions he took throughout the book. "Coyote Blue" has a very interesting cast of characters. Sam, our leading man, is an insurance sales man with a past hiding from the law in Santa Barbara, CA. One morning he meets, Caliope, the first woman to steal his heart and who should pop up, but Coyote, who just happens to be Sam's Indian Spirit guide. Coyote, being the trickster that he is, guides Sam in the most round-a-bout way possible getting Sam into all sorts of hilarious trouble along the way. I highly reccomend this book, especially if you are in need of a good laugh and a GREAT story!!!!
