Super fun

This book was fun and funny. The writing was clever and the narrator was really good. I really look forward to reading the sequel.

Read this and then "You Suck"

You just have to let yourself go with this, the humor is there, and Moore plays on as many clenches and word plays where I found I did laugh out loud in parts. Moore is not for everyone. I have read "Lamb" as well and loved it.

Review of Bloodsucking Fiends

I like Christopher Moore, love his humor and his characters. Hated the ending of this one. Not satisfying. Reader not bad, not great, but not a distraction.

Outstanding!

Would you consider the audio edition of Bloodsucking Fiends to be better than the print version?

Having never read the print version, I can't make a fair comparison. However, Susan Bennett's interpretation of the authors words adds to, rather than distracting/detracting from them. (As you all know, the narrator makes or breaks an audio edition. Bronson Pinchot is the King, but Susan Bennett definitely qualifies as a Crown Princess. She has the kind of voice that makes you think she's a genuine, fun person and you can't help thinking you'd like to meet her. Not in a creepy, stalker sort of way, but in a friendly neighborly sort of way.)

Who was your favorite character and why?

Really, it's a toss up between Jody and C. Thomas Flood, but I probably come down on the side of Tommy. Yes, his vulnerability, innocence and pure likeability are factors in his favor, but what really did it was his impassioned, internal plea for sex with Jody. I laughed so hard I almost had to pull the car over before I got a ticket. ("Sorry officer, I was laughing at Tommy's internal dialogue as he begged his vampire girlfriend for sex." I don't think it would help my case.)

Have you listened to any of Susan Bennett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not. However, after listening to Bronson Pinchot narrate the Hard Magic series, I sought out his other work, and ended up finding some very good books. I'll do the same with Susan Bennett.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Okay, this is a fairly lame question. However, I can't help taking a shot at it. "What's a little bloodsucking between friends?"

Any additional comments?

If you're looking for an excellent listen, a good story with likeable characters, outstanding dry humor, read by an fantastic narrator, this is the book for you. Really. No kidding.

Simply Hilarious!

If you are anything like me, then you can enjoy and appreciate a good vampire love story like this one! It is so witty I had many LOL'S at random moments....like in the grocery store and the Dr.s office. This is a great listen, I absolutely love this author and can't wait to listen to you suck!
