"christoper moore can take something like a crow indian boy running away from the reservation and becoming an insurance salesman and make it not only a story you devour, but so unbelievably funny that you look around to see if anyone was watching while you busted out laughing at a book!"
— Brook (4 out of 5 stars)
" This is the first book by Christopher Moore I have read and I have to say that I was pleased. He is funny in the characterizations he portrays and the situations he develops in the novel. I will definitely read more by this author in the future. "
— Ronald, 2/19/2014" My favorite Christopher Moore book so far! "
— Sara, 2/18/2014" Not Moore's best effort, but as usual, an entertaining diversion. "
— Steve, 2/13/2014" Sam (Samson Hunts Alone) Hunter, Coyote, Calliope...Crow Indian foo, insurance foo, supernatural fantasy. Fun summer read. "
— L8start, 2/10/2014" Loved it! My first Christopher Moore book - HILARIOUS, random, creative. Made me want to read a lot more of Moore's books. "
— Betsy, 2/7/2014" Outrageously funny, vivid - with threads of spirituality and warped mythology. Moralistic without preaching, a page-turner with a message. Do read! "
— Akhila, 2/6/2014" OK, so Christopher Moore likes to poke fun at various legend themes and the California lifestyle. So what? In this one you've got Trikster, the coyote / man who haunts the main character Sam Hunter. The book continues in the vein of Moore's works in general--flights of fancy, alleged entertaining plots, and frequent wise-guy humor that's supposed to leave the reader laughing. Ho, hum. I found out some time after buying the book (I was just hanging out waiting for someone so I bought this and two other books for a 3 for the price of 2 sale) that's it's supposed to be funny. Really? "
— Jeffrey, 1/28/2014" It took me awhile to understand the concept behind the humour of "Coyote Blue" - but in the end I got it ... and really enjoyed it. As always a very well written book, with an interesting and dry humour ... but this one takes a bit more work that the others. "
— Nola, 1/17/2014" I really enjoy Christopher Moore as a writer. However, I did not enjoy this one. I found the character of Coyote to be not funny, but kind of unlikable. This is one Christopher Moore book that I cannot recommend. "
— Rachel, 12/11/2013" Not as good as "Lamb", but still a good story. "
— Rita, 10/11/2013" Very funny. I didn't like it quite as much as some other Moore books like Lamb, Fool, or Bloodsucking Fiends, but still good for a lot of laughs. Loved the Old Man Coyote character. "
— Kemper, 9/17/2013" He is a good writer. I should really read more. "
— Greg, 7/19/2013" Typical Moore: Funny, insightful, with characters that last long after the cover is closed. Plus, I now know where Minty Fresh, one of my favorite characters from A Dirty Job, came from. "
— Matt, 7/12/2013" Not as funny as his others. I was surprised that Minty Fresh made an appearance at the end. Guess the characters move in and out of almost all his books. "
— Kona, 2/23/2013" My first Christopher Moore book. He is odd. I like odd. "
— Carol, 12/29/2012" As good as always. "
— David, 11/12/2012" Another bright romp from Christopher Moore, but not our favorite. Recommended for fans, of course. Just don't take his bits of pretension too seriously "
— Cheryl, 10/14/2012" by the end I rather enjoyed this book. "
— Maeve, 3/27/2012" This is the first Christopher Moore book I have read and he truly got me at Hello!! "
— Jeannine, 3/25/2012" Good book. Not as funny as some of his others, but still a really nice fun book. "
— Missy, 3/22/2012" I laughed throughout. It was a really fun read. "
— Desiree, 3/14/2012" Good, one of his earlier works. "
— Misty, 12/10/2011" Not quite as enjoyable as all the other novels I've read by Moore up until now, but I suspect it is because I made the mistake of reading it immediately after American Gods. There were still many moments of laughing out loud, as is always the case with his stories. "
— H3dakota, 11/18/2011" “Coyote Blue” was good. It was funny, interesting, and quite an improvement from “Demonkeeping.” It was pretty good for a sophomore attempt and I have high hopes that the books are going to keep getting better. "
— Kristen, 6/29/2011" Another classic Moore, though a little disjointed. I think I like his more recent stories better as the narrative arc has more natural flow then the older ones. Still he has a way with descriptions which makes me wonder at the depth of his imagination. "
— Kate, 6/7/2011" this was a fun book- as christopher moore usually writes. had its best moments in the middle of the book, i actually laughed out loud a few times. entertaining and enjoyable and a very light read with great characters that you find yourself caring about. read this fucking book. "
— Randy, 6/5/2011" I love Christopher Moore books... this one I listened to on audio. Very Funny! Oh, just found out he is from Ohio... no wonder he is so funny :) "
— Lesley, 6/1/2011" Not nearly as funny as other Moore books I've read. "
— Paul, 5/3/2011" Alison and I listened to this driving back from Georgia. I haven't read a Christopher Moore book I didn't like and this is loaded with his quick, sometimes bizarre humor. "
— Bill, 4/19/2011" I love Christopher Moore but I just wasn't into this book. It lacked something. "
— Janet, 4/18/2011" Another Moore gem. Sort of like Gaiman's "American Gods" (there are gods alive and well in America) but with a huge dash of misadventure. This god has a penchant for gambling and detaching his manhood while shapeshifting. <br/>A very, very funny book. "
— Adam, 4/18/2011" This one was a "miss" for me. "
— Lorna, 4/5/2011" Not Moore's best effort, but as usual, an entertaining diversion. "
