What a heartwarming, analytical novel.
*laughs hysterically*
Yeah, okay, so it's not highfalutin' reading. Who cares. It did drag in a few places, but it was funny. It was Christopher Moore. Read it when you need a really good laugh. Yeah, there's a good story in there too, but the constant "funny" will keep you smiling.

Moore writes humorous tales and he gets better and better with each book he writes. This is one of his earliest attempts but the writing is clear, concise and soo good. The prime character of this read is Sam Hunts Alone who leaves the Crow reservation at age fifteen after a brush with the law.
Sam carves a private life away from the reservation, becoming a successful insurance salesman. He drives a Mercedes and lives alone in a Santa Barbara condo but his life is empty. He has no one to share it with until he meets Calliope Kincaid and that mystical trickster, Coyote. At that point his life livens for he falls in love and Coyote begins to change everything.
It's a funny story, almost like a fairy tale and the reader smiles and wondering time and again what will happen next between Sam, Calliope, and Coyote. I liked this gentle read and believe that others will like it too. Moore takes a poke at life and what happens between people with the interactions among Sam, Calliope and Coyote. Good one.

I've read a couple of Christopher Moore's books, and I liked this one best. I was really confused when I first started it as it bounces back and forth through time, but I soon was pulled into the story enough that I was able to keep up. I really liked the Coyote God that visits... he's very funny! I didn't think I would like this book because it sounded a little far fetched and very different from anything else I read, but I found it very entertaining!

I loved this story! Moore reminds me of Vonnegut; lots of dark humor, irony and supernatural twists.
