Chronicle Conducive To Books Coyote Blue

From Christopher Moore, author of Fluke, comes a quirky, irreverent novel of love, myth, metaphysics, outlaw biking, angst, and outrageous redemption.

As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Samson Hunts Alone -- until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is Samuel Hunter, a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo, and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers him the dangerous gift of love -- in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid -- and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquillity into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam ... and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.

Commentary Regarding Books Coyote Blue
This is one of Moore's earliest works, and while it still has his trademark blend of absurdity and wit, it seems he hadn't yet thrown off the yoke of conventional writing and dove to the deep end where his true, absolutely absurd voice, lies. It's still there, just under the surface, but constrained and trying to escape. In some ways, that makes this a better novel for standard audiences, and possibly a better introduction to Christopher Moore, but it isn't the best Christopher Moore novel.

I wish I could rate this higher since I like Christopher Moore's writing, but I can't. This is too disjointed for my taste and not as humorous as other stories he's written like, "A Dirty Job." 4 of 10 stars

This book was absolutely frickin' hilarious. I think I officially love Christopher Moore. I was listening to this book on my iPod while my preschoolers were napping today and I had to shush myself because I started laughing so hard. Coyote the Trickster has been one of my favorite characters ever since I started reading old fables when I was in college. I have never read any of the tales that Mr. Moore used for this book, who knows, maybe he made them up, but I loved how he intermingled the

This book was hilarious! The author reminds me a lot of Tom Robbins with a pinch of Neil Gaiman thrown in for good measure, though definitely a lot more foul-mouthed. His story was crazy, but I couldn't wait to hear what happened next. The book is the story of Sampson Hunts-Alone who because of a crime he committed about 20 yrs ago, has changed his name to Sam Hunter and is now a smooth-talking insurance salesman who is well-off and full of himself. Everything in his world changes when he meets

Three and a half stars.While Coyote Blue doesn't sparkle like the other Christopher Moore books I've read, it is still a very funny novel. Moore takes on Native American mythology is much the same way he played with Christianity in Lamb. It is clear that Old Man Coyote is not the only prankster around. Moore himself is quite the mischief maker especially of the literary type. I am also getting into the authors' reuse of characters in his books and enjoyed the return of Minty Fresh who is my

Another good surprise that started slow and became such a mess , that Two thirds into the book I asked myself: what in the name of the pissing Gods was I reading?! And why?!But after all I liked the homecoming story.Its good to have race diversity in fantasy for a change. As a new father of an 8 month boy, I was sad and shocked by some parts, which is good. Long live the trickster. Oh, and Minty Fresh story was awesome.

God I love Christopher Moore. Which is why it pains me to say that is simply... not his best work. I think he does really well when he flexes his research muscles and combines his trademark hilarity with cultures/time periods/places outside of his personal experience. But this time those efforts just didn't quiiiiite pay off.Don't get me wrong! It's still an amusing book and an entertaining read. But I definitely wouldn't recommend it as a standalone book or even an introduction to Moore's work
