Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art Audiobook

" It's good. Typical Moore. A lot of laugh-out-loud funny parts, though somethings do fall short or seem to be out of place. He really did his history and had me looking up a lot of painters and paintings. "

" Christopher Moore is the soul of funny. "

" This was bizarre, but I admire the creativity and the satire of the art. "

" Just a little bit of genius, this book. Impressionists, history, Paris, and murder. What more could you ask for? "

" As usual with Moore's books, I found myself giggling aloud frequently, I do think I liked it better the second time I read it. "

" This book is terrific, but if you are a fan of previous Christopher Moore books, you should set aside your notions of what this book will be. It has moments of humor, but the twin engines driving this story are visceral emotion and great writing. "

" Really worth reading - past the random and difficult parts of the book is a genius idea. Not my favorite of Christopher Moore; but I didn't walk away feeling dumb for picking it up and reading it. "

" Henri Toulouse-Lautrec imagined by Christopher Moore makes for the most fun I've had with a book in years. "

" First and last book I will read by this author. "

" This is another one of Moore's quirky and inventive stories that mixes real events with fiction and makes it all the more fun to read. "

" The website that accompanies the book is worth a look and provides interesting background. "

" Reading this book piqued my interest in all of the artists and the time period described in the novel. Christopher Moore's books are always pretty funny, and I liked how the humor here came from the characters and (mostly) did not feel forced. "

" This is a very fun read for art enthusiasts, francophiles and lovers of the absurd. Great characters, witty dialogue, clever plot. "

" This seemed to me to be a more "mature" novel than Moore's previous novels. There is a slower build into the charecters and action. I found the historical settings and the tie-ins to the paintings interesting and they made sense for the story. "

" Moore is a very funny writer. You will either find the irreverence with which he treats the Impressionists fun, silly or inappropriate. I found it all three and I loved it. "

" I have started 4 and read 3 C Moore books. I find him a hard author to follow, but I keep trying. It took awhile to find the rhythm of the story but I must admit it was worth the journey. Reading the afterward gave me insight into the story. Paris must have been an interesting pace at that time. "

" I really enjoy Moore. This story was much more complicated than usual. He's in the Tom Robbins stratosphere now. Humor, history, creativity... "

" i loved the setting, I loved the artists, the paintings, and the storyline...until I figured out a little more about Juliette, and then Moore lost me. The rest was a drag. but if you read keeping in mind the context, a pretty fun read. "

" Unfortunately the only Christopher Moore book I did not like. He is one of my favorite authors, but I just couldn't get into this story. I kept getting confused which characters were which and the story just didn't grab me. I couldn't even finish it, though I read about half. "

" Not Moore's best either, but charming and an enjoyable read. "

" Fun, well written...Great book to read after reading Vincent van Gogh...same cast of characters...interesting from an art standpoint..I enjoyed this AFTER reading VVG...light and interesting. "

" This was a really fun read. Very clever and a bit bizarre. As an art history major I appreciated the way the author tied real paintings into story. "
