FOOP! par Chris Genoa

The main weakness of this book is the lack of any coherent plot. There is a plot line, but its barely a single thread. The majority of the book is various situations the main character finds himself in that seem to be constructed mainly for the purpose of creating gags. Some are funny, some are funny if you are a 13 yo boy, and some just don't seem to have a punch line. In any case, without a coherent plot, they come off as a bunch of gags loosely strung together.

Lick Your Neighbor par Chris Genoa

An alternate reality mystery of Thanksgiving and John Alden. I found it trite and its humor heavy-handed and over the top. I had to force myself to continue reading to the end.

Foop! par Chris Genoa

I tried to like it. I wanted to like it. Christopher Moore has a blurb on the front cover, which was the main reason I decided to pick up the book. Even though I was intrigued by the possibilities for the plot, the protagonist didn't inspire any interest in me and even after 100 pages I decided that this was one of the few books I didn't want to finish reading. The humor is coarse and crude, which I generally don't mind, but there didn't seem to be any smarts behind it, which is the difference between this book and those of Christopher Moore. Also, the numerous typos made it feel more like I was reading an ARC than a final, proofed copy.… (plus d'informations)

Foop! par Chris Genoa

I liked it, it was amusing in an interesting idea sort of way. I get the proximity to Christopher Moore's work, but I didn't attach myself to the narrator as much as I do with CM. I think only people who like SciFi and Christopher Moore will enjoy this.
