I always used to say that anyone that didn't think Christopher Moore wasn't funny was crazy. Amazingly enough, I've met some seemingly sane people that think he's not funny. They must be crazy. Moore is hilarious. I want crawl into his brain and find out where he comes up with these tall tales. He is one sick and twisted individual and well, I like that.

This book was another hit. Funny, way over the top and laugh out loud. It opens with a larger sea beast trying to get it on with a tanker truck (which subsequently explodes - no, I'm not kidding) and moves on from there with a fish-fetish pharmacist, an ex warrior babe that lives in a trailer park and so on and so forth.

Moore's ability to write these interesting characters along with the outlandish tales make his books a must read on my list. Make sure you read this one. Yes, it's a bit over-the-top, but, it's Christopher Moore. Duh.
