Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore

Post by Carla Hurst-Chandler »

The book of the week Christopher Moore's latest offering Sacre Bleu
Dropping us in the midst of the likes of Monet...Pissaro...Van Gogh...Toulouse...pursuing not only the "green fairy" and oil painting but also the "Colorman and Bleu". Art History meets Fantasy in this masterpiece of a novel. Although filled with Moore's wry observations and inimitable humor...he has done his homework when it comes to the stories of the Impressionists and their lives...a fact meets fiction blended flawlessly. If you enjoy Art...Art History...or the previous works of Christopher Moore...This is the book for you.

On a scale of 1-10...this book is an 11.

having read Mr. Moore's Coyote Blue, I'm sure this will be as captivating. An expressive writer, Mr. Moore paints vivid and realistic pictures with his prose, enabling the reader to follow the story to a revealing end.

I just bought Sacre Bleu not too long ago, and after reading what's been said here, I think it's going to be my next read.
I was an art history major, so I know I'm going to enjoy this! :D

Will do Carla. I anticipate starting it today. :) I found Sacre Bleu with new releases in a used bookstore and pounced on it.
I read You Suck and loved it and had wanted to read more of Moore, and have The Stupidest Angel and Practical Demonkeeping on my look for list.

Loved You Suck and its sequel Bite Me...Lamb was the one I started with...and till can't getthe scene at the edge of the well with the lizard, Jesus (as a child) and Biff (his buddy) out of my mind. Laughing!

Sacre Bleu is amazing in its own right, as is everything by Moore. However, for a really raunchy hysterical read, I always go for You Suck or his Grim Reaper series. Dirty Job was amazing and the sequel, Sedondhand Souls, had me constantly cracking up.
