You Suck

Critics

• You Suck by Christopher Moore

  You know that old adage about books and covers? Well this is a case in point. The title isn't great, but the cover design for the paperback imprint is, like, duh!, the pits. It is so uncool…so unrep-resent-ative of the book. This is not a cocktail th ... (read full critics)

• You Suck

  The fantastic is a funny thing, and never easily measured. Christopher Moore is keenly aware of this and uses it to his advantage in 'You Suck', his sequel to 1995's ' Bloodsucking Fiends'. The oddities of our world yield easily to the oddities of th ... (read full critics)

  Rather funny, but not as brilliant as I hoped it would be. Basically I don't give a damn about the characters.
  On a side note, halfway through I found out it was a sequel: my bad.

  "Nineteen-year-old Tommy is a bewildered hipster recently relocated to San Francisco from Incontinence, Ind. His sarcastic redhead (and bloodsucking) girlfriend, Jody, brings him into the fold of the undead ("I wanted us to be together," she says). Tommy, understandably, has mixed feelings; vampirism has its perks (you can turn to mist, live forever and the sex is awesome), but sunlight is death and blood hunger makes you do some pretty foul things. Also, the duo is hunted by Elijah, the ancient vampire who "turned" Jody and wants her back, and a band of Safeway stock boys/amateur vampire hunters known as the Animals (with whom pre–dark side Tommy once rolled). With the assistance of their devoted minion, goth girl Abby Normal, whose hilarious diary entries form part of the narrative, Tommy and Jody evade their pursuers, feeding at night and conking out at dawn, all the while learning how vampirism complicates love. Moore writes with the jittery energy of a brilliant, charming class clown, mixing sex and gore and a potty mouth with a goofy-sweet sensibility to deliver laughs on nearly every page." -Publishers Weekly

  Just what you'd expect from Christopher Moore... irreverent, offbeat, hilarious, and wicked all at the same time. Such a fun read!

• I can not get into this book. I started it last night but after reading some other books its a bit below what I was looking for. Borders on young adult but much more sexual than a young adult should be. I might come back to it later but for now, I'm going to let it rest in peace.
