An excellently amusing book. Coyote Blue is a merging of Native American Myth and the modern day. Old Man Coyote decides Sam needs a reality check, although Coyote's tactics are...uniquely twisted. At it's heart, it's a story about a guy trying to get the girl while rediscovering his heritage, and he's not always a willing participant in the adventure. The author also inserts mini Coyote myth stories throughout the book to better depict the type of "interesting" character Coyote was and is. There is a deep lesson under the hilarity, but Moore makes sure we don't take life and the story too seriously.
