Noir by Christopher MooreMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
First of all, I'm a fan of Christopher Moore. I haven't read everything he's written, but I've enjoyed all his books that I've read. Second, I tend to like books with hard boiled private detectives. So, needless to say, I loved Noir.
Sammy is a bartender looking for his next big con to rake in some cash. He has an interesting ensemble of supporting characters, from his jerk of a boss to his love interest, Stilton. The book takes a little bit to find its feet. Once the characters find their voices and start to take charge, things get downright ridiculous. And that is one of the big things that I liked about this book. It never takes itself too seriously. That shows from page one and doesn't let up until the end.
