This is the second book in the SanFranVamp series and I have to say I enjoyed it a little bit more than Bloodsucking Fiends, which I also enjoyed. I think the key to it was Abby Normal, a hysterically funny goth girl. I met Abby first in her brief appearance in A Dirty Job and she provided most of the laugh out loudiest lines here. She is a complete brat and yet is rarely annoying, particularly in how she works toward the goal of doing enough for the homeless. ::Recalls details, shakes head, grins::

All the stuff I like in the first book, I still liked her and so this review is going to be a little short. Christopher Moore's madcap sense of humor and characters who manage to be dim and brilliant all at once are still well represented.

I'm holding off on reading the third in the series and am planning on tackling some earlier works, starting with Practical Demonkeeping My strategy has to do with Moore having cameos from past books – I want to start from the beginning so that I can “Catch” then all. (See, this is one of those references.)

Moore is always a good pick if you want something that's funny and clever and occasionally slips in some deeper topics.
