In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets.

Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more (except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdalan) and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

Historia
In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself. Or did he? Why would an artist at the height of his creative powers attempt to take his life... and then walk a mile to a doctor's house for help? Who was the crooked little "color man" Vincent had claimed was stalking him across France? And why had the painter recently become deathly afraid of a certain shade of blue? These are just a few of the questions confronting Vincent's friends who vow to discover the truth of van Gogh's untimely death.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

After the stunning historical novels The Clearing and The Missing, Tim Gautreaux now ranges freely through contemporary life with 12 new stories and eight from previous collections. Most are set in his beloved Louisiana, many hard by or on the Mississippi River, others in North Carolina, and even in midwinter Minnesota. But generally it's heat, humidity, and bugs that beset his people as they wrestle with affairs of the heart, matters of faith, and the pros and cons of tight-knit communities.

Scott Crane abandoned his career as a professional poker player 20 years ago and hasn’t returned to Las Vegas, or held a hand of cards, in 10 years. But troubling nightmares about a strange poker game he once attended on a houseboat on Lake Mead are drawing him back to the magical city. For the mythic game he believed he won did not end that night in 1969—and the price of his winnings was his soul. Now, a pot far more strange and perilous than he ever could imagine depends on the turning of a card.

Historia
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself. Or did he? Why would an artist at the height of his creative powers attempt to take his life... and then walk a mile to a doctor's house for help? Who was the crooked little "color man" Vincent had claimed was stalking him across France? And why had the painter recently become deathly afraid of a certain shade of blue? These are just a few of the questions confronting Vincent's friends who vow to discover the truth of van Gogh's untimely death.

Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the erstwhile-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory.

An escapist romp.
Would you consider the audio edition of Coyote Blue to be better than the print version?
There is nothing more fun than a beach, free time, loss of ambition, imbibition , and a Christopher Moore tome. It is so hard to hold one's neck and arm up (old sports injury) and read a great work of literature in the blazing sun, so I plug in my ear buds and listen to that great fellow
Who was your favorite character and why?
The coyote gets to do anything he wants, and I mean ANYTHING. Don't we all want that, plus the supernatural powers. What a combo.
What about James Jenner’s performance did you like?
He took the work right out of my rotator cuff arm while recovering.
Any additional comments?
First read and given to friends in book form, with type on paper, it is still a great

Hate to say it... but it's, better than Hillerman. Had a Zane Gray book in hand but didn't get to read it. Still true to this day, "No Indians (Native Americans) allowed."

One of CMs best.
This was the 1st book I read by Christopher Moore. Just revisited for the first time in 30 years, and it's still one of my favorites. Not necessarily as good as some of his other books like Practical Demon Keeping and Lamb, but still a damn good story. If you like any of his other books, you will enjoy this one. Also, believe this is the first appearance of MF, a great character who shows up in a few of his other books.

Fun and fantastic read
The story was great and I really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more by this author!
This book reminds me a bit of American Gods by Neil Gaiman only with a bit more comedy and a little raunchy humor too.

Wasn't really feeling it this time
Let me preface this with the fact that I adore pretty much everything Christopher Moore creates.
Some positive points in this story for me were the characters. He always creates the best characters and really has fun with them. I love that he uses characters over again in a lot of his other stories, too.
I love that he can create such a vivid scene in the readers minds and that he has so much fun with his writing. You can really tell when he's enjoying what he's writing.
This story, for me at least, wasn't as engaging as others I've read in the past. I wasn't really invested in what was going on and it may have just been my mind wandering elsewhere while listening as I do listen while I work from home and have other things happening around me.
It was a little bit of a slow burn for me but I would never discourage anyone from partaking a Christopher Moore novel as I am a firm believer that what's good for the gander isn't always good for the goose or whatever the hell that phrase is.
If you do decide to give this one a go, just keep in mind you're probably not going to get the gut busting laughs you may have gotten with Lamb, the Fool series, or Dirty Job series. I'd say this one is a more lowkey humor maybe more akin to the Noir novel where you still get some chuckles but not a riotous belly laugh. Still a good one but not my favorite.

ehhhh...
Yes, if you have read newer Christopher Moore, this one is sure to disappoint. If you are reading it to find out where Moore started out, then it is interesting. You can really see how far he's come in developing characters, dialogue and story.
It's much like reading an early Stephen King novel like Carrie after reading Duma Key. You can see the resemblence, but the maturity shows through in the later writing.

A good start
for those of you familiar with Christopher Moore’s work… this was a good start to his style. You can see where his work began and although it starts off a bit slow by the end of it I’m waiting for the second book. I recommend it.
