Christopher Moore

I started reading some of his stuff at a bookstore today, but I had to leave before I finished the first chapter. Does anybody have any opinions about the guy, so that I may have my opinion swayed by yours?

Who is Christopher Moore?

[xbxDaniel]

Well, considering where this was posted, and the context of my post, I would presume he was an author.

Christopher Moore is hit or miss.

He always starts off his novels with a real bang, great writing and really good off-the-wall comedy, but his novels tend to fall apart in the third.

However, some of his work is brilliantly funny and original. Lamb, the Gospel of Biff is a great one. As is Bloodsucking Fiends is a great comedic take on Vampires ( second only to Fat White Vampire Blues for comedy vampire, uh, fiction ).

The rest of his stuff is a little hit or miss, mainly for the reason above.
