Summary: Moore hillarious fun and antics....
Comment: Where else can you find a zany jokester indian GOD, a corrupt condo manager, a multi-religious blond woman, and a bunch of hard riding bikers.
Christopher Moore does it again in this laugh out loud funny story of Sam Hunter, runaway Crow Indian turned slick talking Santa Barbara insurance salesman. Sam Hunter has spent 17 years away from his heritage, building a so called life amoung the white man has made Sam Hunter a hollow man with a mercedes, cool condo, and a closet full of armani suits. Then a beautiful but odd blond woman strikes his fancy and a Zany Indian God turns his life upside down. All of a sudden his very planned and predictable life becomes a complete nightmare and he is afraid 17 years of hiding his crime will be revealed. Same struggles with his identity, love, doubt, and ultimately his religious beliefs.
This is a wild, crazy journey full of wacky and racy events that will make you break out in laughter so read it where you can laugh out loud and not get kick out.

Summary: Something Moore to howl about.
Comment: After leaving his Crow reservation in Montana at age fifteen, Samson Hunts Alone changed his name to become Sam Hunter, a "hardworking, intelligent, and even likable" (p. 15) Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a townhouse, and a "steady, level, and safe" life (p.16). Although his yuppie lifestyle seems perfect on the surface, Sam suffers from "Coyote Blue," the constant fear that something might go wrong to upset his "world of one" (p. 117). After meeting Calliope Kincaid, a free-spirited woman with the power to inspire men "to art and madness" (p. 64), and a mysterious, shape-shifting Indian (none other than Old Man Coyote) shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, Sam nearly loses everything--his Mercedes, his money, his career, and his condo, only to discover himself in the chaos of his new life.
Filled with unforgetable scenes such as a coyote humping a leather sofa "like a furry jackhammer" (p. 50), Moore's second novel, COYOTE BLUE, is a quirky, entertaining novel, that will leave you howling with laughter.

Summary: Moore's best
Comment: My children love the Coyote stories. If you live in the American Southwest, or just enjoy mythology, you're probably familiar with the Trickster myths. Even if you're not, this is a wonderful spin on Coyote, strictly for adults. The premise is wonderful and Moore's excution is right-on with an updated view of Coyote's antics. Moore's alternate views of what we tend to take for granted are also priceless: I still chuckle when I think of Seuss's Sam I Am.
