Standard early Moore fare. Strangely gripping story, difficult to put the book down, a handful of laughs and good wit abounds. ( )

Packed full of humour and returning characters from the first book in the series. It's a fun book, if it is lacking one thing it is a high level of suspense. But it's not a mystery or a thriller, so that's fine. ( )

Theo Crowe, Pine Grove's only constable sums up what he's facing and what the reader can expect in this hilarious Christopher Moore novel:
"Fuck that ! I got murders, drug manufacturing, some fucking giant animal of some kind, a whole town that's gone nuts, my car is mashed, and I have a crush on a crazy woman--I don't have the training for this ! No one has the fucking training for this !"

Need reread before I can review ( )

Throw awal all reality and be ready to crack a rib laughing over this book. A giant sea creature wakes from his long slumber due to a radioactive spill. Feeling a tad horny, he mistakes the purring of the engine of a gas tanker as a mating call. While humping happily, the truck blows up burning the creature badly. He goes to the local trailer park and makes himself look like another trailer until he heals. Due to the bad vibes sent out by the hurting creatute, the entire town of Pine Cove becomes depressed and start eating anti depressants like candy. Great characters and a good flow makes this book hard to put down. ( )
