You Suck audiobook

First of all, I would normally never even think to read this book. But as I was looking at the clearance rack, a kid, ie teenager, approached me. "Hey, do you like vampires?"I was disturbed how unfazed I was with the completely random question."Sure." Slightly wary."Have you heard of Moore?"He's a vampire now? That answers a lot of questions."Michael Moore?" I'm riffling books hoping he'll go away."No, not that crazy one, this is a Christopher Moore. He's hilarious and has his own cult started."The clarification didn't really help gain any brownie points for Christopher Moore. "Ummmm, that's cool." Looking for exit.The kid picks up a book on the clearance rack. "Try him. You'll love it. If you like vampires, you'll LOVE this book."I read, "You Suck...A Love Story." Is he high or something? This looks like a a suckASS book."OK, thanks, I'll give it a try." I bought the book, and now I'm so grateful that the kid decided that I was the vampire loving type of chick.It is impossible to completely classify this book. So when you see the basic description of "A love story" on the cover, that's the best way to explain it. It's a love story of vampires that is hysterically funny!I can't even begin to try and explain why it's funny, so just read it. You'll start out being a little stunned, then you'll giggle, then you'll just laugh continuously.Whatever you do, DO NOT READ THE LAST SENTENCE OF THE BOOK UNTIL IT'S TIME! It's a special sentence that will break you for a few days, but you need the context of the book first.My favourite characters? Abby Normal and Chet, the huge shaved cat.

This is my first Chris Moore book. I quickly realized that this was a sequel, but I was already into the story. Why? Because Moore is fricking hilarious. This is the story of two rookie vampires (Jody and Tommy) who are doing their best to avoid the law, former friends, and giving in completely to their primal natures. And of course they need a minion. Enter Abby Normal. Her greatest struggle is trying to shove down her inherent perkiness and embrace the darkness of goth, or whatever she is. Her narration of the story is one of the most entertaining aspects of the book. Then there’s the bronzed (literally) vampire who sired Jody. The two fledgling vampires must decide what to do with him so he will no longer be a threat. So, if you like vampires who don’t take themselves too seriously (or brood, or sparkle), hilarity, and the mocking of goth/emo/death punk kids (and who doesn’t?), this is the book for you.

Quick review:Cover: Eh Rating: NC-17Steaminess: Steamy Thumbs Up: 4Overall: Still funnyCharacters: Well WrittenPlot: The accidental vampire and her lover still mucking things upPage Turner: Yes Series Cont.? Yes Recommend: YesBook Boyfriend: Thomas C. FloodSUMMARY (50 words or less)I wasn’t sure when I started this one if it would live up to the first one, but as I got into it, the laughs were plentiful. Floor and Abby Normal were priceless. The hilarity of taken an accidental vampire and how she copes continues on in this installment.For a full review and yummy pic, see my blog post at:http://mybookboyfriend.blogspot.com/2... Audio ReviewSusan Bennett brings this narration to life. I swear I’m not sure I would have enjoyed the book quiet as much without her lively interpretation. She just brings that little extra.

This is a laugh-out-loud novel in which vampirism meets slacker youth in San Francisco. The opening line is a classic “You bitch, you killed me! You suck!” Young Tommy Flood awakes to find that his girlfriend, Jodi, has killed him, with her bite transforming him into a creature of the night. She wanted company and the old guy who turned her only a few months back was not to her liking. He had not been able to do much about it, having been attacked, robbed and ultimately bronzed by Tommy and his buddies, a Greek chorus of comedic mayhem known as the Animals. The learning curve is a steep one and Tommy is faced with learning the ins and out of his new self. It is particularly important figuring out how to get some coffee as the vampire body is highly resistant to anything resembling normal human fare.The cast of characters is a rich one, with The Emperor, a homeless guy who runs things on the street, William, a homeless derelict and owner of a very large cat, a 16-year-old wannabe who attaches herself to Tommy and Jodi, a Vegas hooker who had made herself blue to keep business alive, and who the Animals had acquired while running through the several hundred grand they’d gotten from the old bloodsucker. A memorable line here was “Admit it. Didn’t you always want to bone a Smurf?” Neither the plot nor the outcome matters much here. The joy of this book is the journey and the characters. Maybe not an appropriate read for the stuffy, but for those with a sense of humor, and who can tolerate being stared at by other subway passengers for out loud guffawing, it is a delicious read.

I enjoyed this installment of A Love Story more than I did BLOODSUCKING FIENDS. I suppose because this didn't contain a "comedic" scene about consent. In this case, the tone is also much more consistently black humor. Our protagonists are now both vampires and bodies start dropping around them constantly with a blue-skinned hooker, a returned ancient vampire fresh from being bronzed, and really bad self-control from our antiheroes. The real gem of the book, though, is Allison a.k.a Abby Normal the Perky Goth Girl minion our protagonists recruit despite being two of the dumbest vampires in the history of fiction. Abby is a nonstop dribble of hilarious observations, rapid fire quips, and verbal diarrhea that attempts to be profound but is just entertaining as hell. In other words the perfect sixteen year old. Some of the jokes verge on the uncomfortable then go sailing right past it but I found it had quite a lot going for it. Certainly, Abby is awesome.8/10

One really amazing new character, and one really not balances this second book out.World: The world buildling is fun, from the insane premise to the rules and the characters that inhabit this weird crazy slice of San Francisco it’s a hoot. Everytime I read Moore’s book I think of Hiaasen who has the same knack for setting an absurd and hilarious stage for his characters to wander around in. This time around it’s a direct sequel so the pieces of the world are all there, there is a slight expansion but not really and that’s fine with me.Story: The story continues from the events of the last book, and it’s a fun ride. The consequences of book one are felt here and leads to move insane drama and situations that will make you laugh out loud. You’ll laugh, you’ll feel uncomfortable, you get annoyed, all the emotions are all there. The new addition of Abby is absolutely fantastic and is the best thing in the series after Jody (more below) and the introduction of Blue and honestly the entire storyline of the Animals was pointles and irksome and pretty gross to say the least. They do balance each other out in the end and my love for Abby and my loating of Blue makes this book on par with the first book (if there was no Blue this would have been amazing). The end was interesting, not what I expected but it was heartfelt and also bonkers and hilarious. I look forward to the next chapter of this series.Characters: Jody and Teddy are great, they have such great chemistry together, their banter and their relationship is pretty weird and unhealthy but at the same time beautiful and romantic, they are well done. Their arc this time around is deceptively simple, but the emotions involved, the hidden feelings of how couples grow and learn to live with each other is really well done, even if it’s insane. Abby is the best thing in the book hands down, her dialog, her personal voice is mental and every time she opened her mouth I laughed out loud, she’s a stereotypes and so are a lot of the characters in this satire but wow is she the best or what!? Blue was a meh character and her story along with the Animals felt tacked on and there because the these characters were in the last book and needed to show up, but honestly I really don’t care about them, these guys and gals are pretty unsavory in a raunchy disgusting way which I usually don’t mind that type of comedy but here it’s just...a step too far. I liked this second book, it has an amazing new character and if not for the other not so amazing one would have blown the first book out of the water. Onward to the next book!

Me parto de risa con esta trilogía🤣.Humor absurdo y descacharrante.Me está gustando mucho este autor. Cuando termine esta trilogía, voy a buscar más cosas de él.

3.5 StarsI thought this was better than the first book in A Love Story Trilogy. It's still full of cliches and satirical humor I enjoyed Moore's writing in this. The characters were better developed and for me Abby Normal made a good difference. Her parts were the best ones in the book.

ReedIII Quick Review: Humorous worthy continuation of Bloodsucking Fiends for readers who enjoyed it and want more. Even without Bloodsucking Fiends, feel free to jump into this lighthearted take on being a young untrained vampire. Recommend reading for book 1 and audio-book for book 2.

Christopher Moore's You Suck audio book is another find at the library that I should have taken out in book form. This book had us roaring with laughter in the car on the way to work over the weeks we listened to it.***Spoiler Alert***This is a vampiric tale of one young fledgling, Jody, turning her Midwest boyfriend, Tommy Flood, into a vampire so they can be together forever. Jody, who was turned by an older vampire, Elijah, teams up with Tommy and his co-workers at the San Francisco Marina Safeway to bronze the older vampire who has gone on a killing spree among the sick and infirm. Jody hopes to get away from the elder vampire and take Tommy into her dark world.Along the way, Tommy starts getting used to his vampiric ways, but eventually "enjoys" some aspects of his nature too much for his Midwestern sensibilities. Tommy adopts the name Lord Flood with his minion, Abby Normal--o yes, you guessed it an old fashioned play on words. She is nothing short of normal by today's standards with her Gothic clothes, her sarcasm, attempts to fit in with the rebels, and her love of the undead...but she also has a perky side and you eventually discover her favorite literary character is not from Lovecraft, but it is Pipi Longstocking, a perkier side of Abby.Even Abby falls in love, and its not with a vampire or her gay friend, Jared.***End Spoiler Alert***Not only is their vampire hunting, love, sex, drugs, and stealing, but there is sarcastic humor, self-deprecating humor, and twists of fate in this book that are great. The narrator chosen to read this novel was well selected. Her character voices were believable.What made the vampire book for me, beyond the vampires of course, was the narration, hilarious lines, and the character of Abby Normal. I would love to see an entire novel of her adventures from Moore; that would make great reading. I recommend this book, You Suck, in any form you choose. I'm going to have to go out and get the hard copy to add to my collection since I foresee myself reading it for the first time, only to re-read it again and again.

I'm going to try to write this with out gushing about this author, but I can't make any promises.Is this the most real book I've ever read? Yes, in so much as people are all strange inside. Even the most normal people have weirdness in them, and so this books cast of slackers, screw-ups, Otaku(I think thats the word for Fanboys, but I could be wrong), vampires (ancient and young), Goths (all posers, cause come on...where were they when rome was being sacked?), and all the rest; this cast just made me laugh. So for making me laugh like nothing but the strangeness of everyday existence can, these characters seem outrageously real to me.This is a funny and very good continuation of Moore's book "Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story". I thought you couldn't get a much better title than that, but "You Suck" topped it.I know I'm probably going out on a limb here by making this comparisson, but I have to do it. Christopher Moore is by far the closest I've come in American authors, to Terry Pratchett. He has a similar sense of humor, all be it based off of American life not British. So the emphasis of his lampooning is slightly off from the center of Pratchett. Which is not saying much, as both authors have a very wide variety of targets to be roasted over the coals in a good natured sort of way. So that comparison being said, let me move on.I found the most fun part of this story to be its send up of Goth movement. The journal entries by one of the primary characters, a Goth (though I'd say a poser Goth, but I say that about alot of these little sub-groups of society), are pure genius and had me laughing so hard it hurt my sides while also frightening some of my coworkers.This book has laughs, it has vampire AND vampire-hunter action, its got romance, heck it even has bronze plated turtles! Its got it all, so check it out if you want to release some major laughter endorphines.

Alternando entre los puntos de vista (aunque narrados en tercera persona) de Tommy y Jody, Los Animales, el vampiro Elijah, el Emperador, los inspectores y las crónicas de Abby Normal (narradas por la misma Abby y las cuales son de lo mejorcito del libro, en serio), Christopher Moore crea una historia hilarante, desternillante, de esas que te hacen soltar una carcajada tras otra *y da igual dónde estés*, llena de situaciones absurdas, giros y más situaciones absurdas. Haciendo uso del humor negro como nadie *en mi opinión*, Moore nos regala una historia sobre vampiros que no deja de ser una sátira a dicho género, donde nuestros personajes cometen locuras, tienen un sentido del humor y unos principios éticos y morales muy particulares, y se meten en las situaciones más increíbles.Si queréis leer un libro lleno de humor negro, críticas de todo tipo enmascaradas tras situaciones y diálogos a cada cuales más absurdos y cómicos, y con unos personajes indecentes, divertidos y alocados; y pasar un buen rato leyendo y riendo a carcajadas, éste es vuestro libro y vuestro autor. De verdad, a mí me encanta y me hace pasar muy buenos ratos.
