Title: Coyote Blue
Author: Christopher Moore
Pages: 320
Genre: Fiction
I really did NOT like this book. Generally, I love Christopher Moore, but I had the worst trouble making it through this one. I just did not find it funny, or even mildly entertaining.
BLURB: This is an accelerating comedy with shadows setting off the wry, polished humor. Trickster deities thrive on contrariety, which is why one finds them bringing life into dead landscapes and disorder into order. A Santa Barbara insurance salesman's too-tidily-contained lifestyle, far from the Crow reservation he grew up on, is an irresistible target for Coyote, who wants to make sure his chosen people don't forget him. Coyote descends on Sam Hunter like one of Job's plagues, albeit a charmingly disingenuous one. "Why me? Why not someone who believes?" asks Sam, suffering from god-induced chaos. "This is more fun," says Coyote. He's right.
