A fan of Christopher Moore, I picked this book up from a local used book store earlier this month & read thru it over the weekend.

Sam Hunter is a slick, shallow insurance salesman whose Native American past is successfully buried... until the Trickster thinks otherwise. Sam's life is quickly turned upside down by Coyote as he is forced to confront his heritage and reach out to another human being. The story is interspersed with Coyote folktales told with a modern twist that always seem to tie into what comes next. Minty Fresh showing up late in the story is a nice bonus.

While this novel is neither as pointed nor as humorous as some of Moore's other works, the story is nonetheless a compelling read with interesting and believable characters. I enjoyed the perspective on at Native American/Crow beliefs - this would be a good companion read to Neil Gaiman's American Gods.
