Coyote Blue

Christopher Moore is an excellent writer. I really loved Lamb and The Stupidest Angel, as well as Bloodsucking Fiends, so I’ve decided to read all his books, ending hopefully with the new one that just came out. I wanted to start with the first book, but Jodi gave it away, so instead I started with number 2, Coyote Blue.

The first thing I have to say is, the book is good, its funny, but not near as funny as his more recent books. Mr. Moore has really honed his craft. This one is about Indians, not the ones from India but the Native Americans. In this case we are dealing with one who has run off and become a white man while trying to hide from his past, at least until his past, in the form of his spirit guide, Old Man Coyote, a trickster god of the Crow people, shows up to screw up his life.

Like I said, its funny, but not so much with the laughing out loud as I was with Lamb and Angel. Still an excellent read. Now on to Island of the Sequined Love Nun…
