I really enjoyed this book, including the narrator who brought the post-apocalyptic vernacular to life. The book is gritty with complex characters, it's sexy, and there are some freaky ghosts and witchcraft.

Really fascinating history that was at times inspirational, at times bizarre. An eye-opening glimpse into the women's movement of the early 20th century and a very personal story too.

Great book. Engrossing plot, excellent characterers. I definitely will finish the series. The author is a master world builder.

I didn't want it to end. An original plot that blends horror (RESIDENT EVIL comes to mind) with fantasy and a touch of HUNGER GAMES. Great characters and authentic emotion. And an MC I've never seen on the page before this. I REALLY hope there's a sequel.

I loved the film of this book and couldn't wait to read it. It was tons of fun and the narrator had just the right amount of snark.

Would you consider the audio edition of Bite Me to be better than the print version?

I am a huge fan of Christopher Moore, but "You Suck," and "Bite Me" have to be my favorites. A major reason for that is the hilarious narration of the character Abby Normal by Susan Bennett. I have listened to many, many audio books, and these are on the top of my list. And of course, being Moore novels, the stories are highly entertaining. I have told my husband that he MUST read this series, BUT when he gets to the 2nd and 3rd books, I am insisting that he listens to them - the narration is that good.

What other book might you compare Bite Me to and why?

"You Suck," - same author and narrator

Which character – as performed by Susan Bennett – was your favorite?

Abby Normal

Who was the most memorable character of Bite Me and why?

Abby Normal and the Emperor. And Chet the huge, shaved cat.
