Being undead sucks. Literally. Just ask C. Thomas Flood. Waking up after a fantastic night unlike anything he's ever experienced, he discovers that his girlfriend, Jody, is a vampire. And surprise! Now he's one, too. For some couples, the whole biting-and-blood thing would have been a deal breaker. But Tommy and Jody are in love, and they vow to work through their issues. But word has it that the vampire who initially nibbled on Jody wasn't supposed to be recruiting. Even worse, Tommy's erstwhile turkey-bowling pals are out to get him, at the urging of a blue-dyed Las Vegas call girl named (duh) Blue. And that really sucks.… (plus d'informations)

    Qui a peur de Beowulf ? par Tom Holt (Dr.Science)
    Dr.Science: The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books including Expecting Someone Taller, and Flying Dutch, but they may be difficult to find at your library or bookstore.… (plus d'informations)

Hmm, mixed thoughts on this book.

It's the second in a series, and I havent read the first. For once I did feel I suffered by not having read the first book, as there are the same characters (it seems) and much history carried forward from the previous book.

on the other hand, was amusing in parts, especially how Goth and vampire social moires (such as kids having grown up with Buffy and Dracula being confronted with "real" vampires, who in turn have only been undead for a matter of weeks or months - not centuries).

Did get all a little messy in the end, and there are characters who turn up who I have idea who they are (see re book 1 hangovers) ( )

Hilarious, though not quite as funny as the Death stories.
this one does put some more satyr in the satire. ( )

Estar muerto es un asco. Igual que estar no muerto. Y, si no, que se lo pregunten a Thomas Flood, que, al despertarse tras la noche más fantástica de su vida, descubre que su novia, Jody, es un vampiro. Y !sorpresa! Ahora él también lo es. Lo del mordisco habría hecho romper a muchas parejas. Pero Tommy y Jody están enamorados.
Lo malo es que corre el rumor de que el chupasangre que mordió a Jody no debía reclutar más miembros para el club. Y lo que es peor: los antiguos compañeros de bolos de Tommy andan tras él, enviados por una prostituta de Las Vegas teñida de azul a la que llaman Blue (cómo no). Y esa sí que es una mamona.

Moore's been a favorite of mine ever since I discovered The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, but it took me a long time to get around to this one. For some reason, the first book in this series--Bloodsucking Fiends--didn't hit me in the same vein (okay, Moore got to me, I can't help punning...) as his others. This second in his vampiric series was no different. His irreverent, bizarre, hilariously strange characters and jokes and twists are as present in this book as others, but there's just an extra twist of non-PC dark that I don't enjoy so much as I do in his other books, despite the fact that I love horror.

So, in the end, this was a fun read, but probably not a book I'll come back to. It's certainly not the one I'd recommend for someone trying Moore for the first time--leave that to Lamb or A Dirty Job or the book I mentioned above, Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cover. Because while there's nothing particularly wrong with his vampire books, they just don't seem to have the same level of fun life that his others do, one way or another. ( )

Really funny book. This is the first book that I have read by Christopher Moore and I look forward to reading more from him. The characters in the book are hilarious. "You Suck" is literally a Laugh Out Loud book. It will have you laughing from beginning to end. Speaking of ending...the ending could have been better but now that I know it is part of somewhat series it has been overlooked. I highly recommend "You Suck" if you are looking for a good and funny read. Enjoy!! ( )

As with his best work, there’s a fundamental sweetness beneath the antics. And the characters are developed with real affection. That most of them are dead is never allowed to seem sad. And for parasitical bloodsuckers, they do remarkably little harm.

Susan Bennetts' sassy reading is a perfect fit for Moores satirical story and sarcastic dialogue.
