Product Description:

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.

- Great love story with a twist
"You Suck" is the classic love story with a twist. This book is about a young newly bitten, C. Thomas Floor, and the girl he has fallen deeply in love with, Jody, who unfortunately for him, is a vampire. The couple has some obstacles to face throughout the entire book none of which ever ceasing to please the reader. "You suck" is a humorous, fast paced, enjoyable book written by Christopher Moore. Even after the story has come to an end you can't help but keep thinking of what could happen next. "You Suck" is a must read for any teen or young adult.

- Nosferattitude
You Suck is the sequel to The Author Guy's foray into humorous, bizarro vamp-lit, and it's just as zany and enjoyable as its predecessor, Bloodsucking Fiends. I won't go too much into the story except to say that C. Thomas Flood is now forced to accept his newly acquired pale force, a first reaction being to promptly apply liberal amounts of both orange-hued tanning lotion and intense monkey love with his partner in blood, Jody Stroud. Add to that goth-chick and minion extraordinaire Abby Normal, a blue entrepreneur of the night, vamps obsessed with tracksuits, and a huge shaved cat named Chet. That's it, go read the thing for yourself.

I will say though, that Moore has a definite knack for the unexpected in his tales. He simply can't be categorized an author of the funny, since any characters are fair game for an imaginative and grizzly maim or demise. That being said, his ability to absorb the ever ... Read More

- Good book, but stick with it to see how good
So this was next on the list of a book club I belong to. And, coincidentally, the hard cover was only $3 at the local Borders, so I picked it up. When I started reading I smacked my forehead and said "This is just a silly young adult novel trying to be adult with the 'F-Bomb' dropped around in it."

But I kept reading, determined to finish it. And I don't know what happened - about 1/3 of the way through it, I quit hating it... and by the 2/3 point I was really liking it.

The characters are well drawn, if a bit one dimensional and the plot is fun but not over-complex. Much of the book seems to be filler, to be honest... but entertaining filler. This book is trash - but enjoyable trash in the end.

- Undead need a good laugh, too
Despite the foolhardiness of giving a book such an obvious target name, Christopher Moore's on his game with this one, a sequel to the whacked-out 1995 undead romance Bloodsucking Fiends. The story picks up immediately after the first one left off: Tommy Flood, an aspiring writer from Indiana who leads the night crew at a San Francisco Safeway, has fallen in love with Jody Stroud, a newly minted member of the pale community. The first book was all about their romance, but this time around, Jody has decided to fully commit to their relationship. To that end, she puts the fanged mojo on Tommy, who wasn't expecting to wake up dead.

This doesn't sit well with the two homicide cops who investigated some of Jody's misdeeds in the first book, nor does it go over well with the Animals (Tommy's former crew), who got a taste for vampire hunting when they helped Jody and Tommy take out Jody's sire. Throw in a blue ... Read More
