I read the first book in Christopher Moore’s Love Story trilogy, Bloodsucking Fiends, last summer. One year later, I’ve finally finished the other two. You Suck (Love Story #2) was another quick, hilarious read. Bloodsucking Fiends ended with Jody and her maker bronzed in Tommy’s apartment. In his guilt, Tommy drilled holes near Jody’s ears, so she could hear him. He didn’t know that she had learned to turn to mist. The story begins, ”You bitch, you killed me! You Suck!”

No more spoilers, but this book introduces a lot more characters and includes all your favorites from the first. The Animals acquire a dyed-blue hooker from Vegas. Tommy acquires a teenage goth chick, Abby Normal, whose diary entry-style narrative is hilarious. She flip flops between teeny-bopper, gothic-speak, French, and hip-hop speak. I really enjoyed the Abby Normal parts in this book.

Google Books has a LOT of preview pages of this book, so if you’ve never read Moore or aren’t sure if this is up your alley, you can read a good chunk of it here.

I thought the first book was much funnier, but You Suck was a good read. If you’ve read Bloodsucking Fiends and liked it, it’s worth your time to pick up You Suck and Bite Me.
