Not a Traditional Vampire Book - Better

What made the experience of listening to Bloodsucking Fiends the most enjoyable?

Christopher Moore writes great books that are funny but with characters that are human and are well developed and not stereotyped. The narrator is great too

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jodie, she is so well rounded, but the Animals are a close second

Which scene was your favorite?

I liked the whole book I can't pick a scene

If you could rename Bloodsucking Fiends, what would you call it?

Jodie and Tommy

Any additional comments?

Read the series in order. Although you can get away with them as individual books, it is easier to read them as they happen. A Dirty Job can be read as an adjunct to this series.

Fun

The other reviews warn you: be prepared for a contemporary sexy vampire and her boyfriend, recently arrived from Indiana. The story is fun and exciting. The narrator is superb. I love her voice; her attitude. Also read You Suck by C. Moore (same narrator).

Hilarious!

The writing is witty and entertaining. The humor, ironic and the characters are wonderful. The performance was perfect. I’ve only just discovered Christopher Moore but I believe I’m going to end up a live long fan.

Decent Moore novel with top notch narration

This is one of the better Moore books I've read in a long time. (Which is to say, Dirty Jobs and Lamb were great and the rest have been utterly forgettable.) Decent vampire plot albeit a bit of-its-time -- this came out when I was in high school and when Anne Rice was topping the charts and that was probably the right time and age to read it.

The narration was spot on, especially with how well she was able to deliver the dry humor.

Enjoying for the 2nd time

Fantastic, funny book. Almost all of Christopher Moore’s books have perfect readers, but these 3 are real favorites. An absolute delight.

Great book - INCREDIBLE narrator

The fun of this book has been thoroughly reviewed, I think - so I will agree with all that has been said on that subject and give a but more credit where credit is due.

This narrator is absolutely incredible. I have listened to so many very talented narrators on audible, who bring a life to the book it may not have had from just reading it - those who make a great book even greater. Well, this narrator is right up there at the top! I often think, when I compare the performances on audible to many performances I have seen in film or television, that book narration is a magnet for the most talented, but lunder-recognized of actors... and this book proves it. Congrats to Susan Bennett for a brilliant performance! I hope she features in many books to come.

Ok, that said, let me reiterate that this book is loads of fun, very light hearted and moves quickly. The writer is a very witty person, and the humor is never flat, annoying or invasive, like in so many failed horror/humor stories featuring vampires or zombies... Really enjoyable stuff all around.
