CHUNK

Bite me: A Love Story by Christopher Moore.

‘Kay so,(to quote one of the main characters) the first paragraph (and those following in the chapter) were initially confusing.  Why would anyone want an entire novel from the perspective of an annoying goth valley high teenager?  Then new characters took over, and even the initial voice of Abby Normal suddenly became charming as the story progressed.  Honestly, Moores’ ability to tell a story from the view point of a different personality was nothing short of awe-inspiring.  It rather reminded me of reading To Kill a Mockingbird.  Being a Moore newbie, I have no idea if this novel is typical or out of the ordinary for him, but I can say I really enjoyed the experience.  It was quick, entertaining, and light-hearted yet tender at the same time.  I even let my roommate borrow it to read (borrowing a borrowed book, haha).
