"Sacre Bleu" by Christopher Moore

I know this belongs in the lounge, and I did post it there, but I also thought I'd post it here for all of the France Fodorites. It's new, I just started it and I can't put it down.

Happy reading

I usually love Christopher Moore but I'm having trouble getting thru this one. I got it from the library and it's a beautiful book (blue print, lots of color prints of paintings) but the story just isn't grabbing me.

Thanks for mentioning this. I have enjoyed every one of his books (except the one written by another Christopher Moore with a different sense of humor, which I read by mistake).

I have to post again. This book REALLY picked up for me in the second half. I'm almost done with it, and ended up enjoying it very much!!

I'm waiting for my co-worker to lend me her copy; can't wait. My favourite Christopher Moore book so far is 'LAMB, The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal' (read it if you haven't already!)

hmmm, I have Lamb in my desk drawer at the office, haven't started it yet, plan to read it at lunch-times.

My favorite by far is an early novel (I think besides Lamb I've read everything he's written) was "Island of the Sequined Love Nun".
