I liked this book more than I thought I would. At the end of summer term/beginning of fall I thought I would challenge myself to read 100 pages a day. I lasted about a month into the fall semester. I think reading 100 pages a day really kept me in this book though. Otherwise I might have put it down...
I've been putting off reviewing this book mostly because I don't know what to say. For a Christopher Moore book it didn't leave much of an impression. The signature humor that I have come to expect from a Moore book was lacking. I didn't really care about the characters. I can't really say it was ...
This was great! I have been a fan for years, but these last couple of books have both been so different and unexpected. I even enjoyed all the shameless name dropping of the artists throughout.
This was my first Christopher Moore book (though I've had his books recommended to me different times).Parts I loved, other parts were ok. It's a (strange?) mix of historical/art fiction, fantasy, almost-horror, & maybe a few other styles tossed in there too. Love the parts about the history of the ...

I loved it! The story was dangerous and funny at the same time. I enjoyed the characters and the fanciful dip into the world of the Belle Époque painters.
This was a fun read during the most busiest time of the year. Between cooking, shopping, and hanging out with family and friends, oh yeah and work; I found the time to plow through this book. This one read similar to Moore's previous novel FOOL, but instead of Shakespeare, it's about my most favorit...
This is the second Moore book that I've read. I liked it much better than Fluke though I still think it somewhat petered out at the end. The idea of a muse traveling though time is soemwhat interesting and the characters are well drawn. There is a good since of time and place. The fantasy elemen...
If there’s a writer out there that can make a story about the color blue funny, it’s Moore. He’s got better comedic timing on paper than most stand-up comedians on stage and he has a wickedly absurd imagination to boot. Which is why I was disappointed with Sacre Bleu.In his Afterword, he briefly m...
