Bloodsucking Fiends Taschenbuch – 25. Mai 2004

Englisch Ausgabe von Christopher Moore (Autor)
4,4 von 5 Sternen 1.909 Sternebewertungen

Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching neck, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.

Making the transition from the nine-to-five grind to an eternity of nocturnal prowlings is going to take some doing, however, and that's where C. Thomas Flood fits in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. But all that changes when a beautiful undead redhead walks through the door ... and proceeds to rock Tommy's life -- and afterlife -- in ways he never imagined possible.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Moore in Bestform!
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 17. September 2015

    Nachdem einem nächtlichen Überfall erwacht die junge Jody neben einem Müllcontainer und muß zu ihrem Entsetzen feststellen, daß sie sich in einen Vampir verwandelt hat. Um vor sich sowohl vor ihrem Angreifer als auch vor dem Tageslicht zu schützen, versteckt sie sich bei Tommy, einem 19jährigen aufstrebenden Schriftsteller aus Indiana. Jody versucht mithilfe ihres Mentors, dem Vampir Elijah Ben Sapir, ihr neues Leben in den Griff zu bekommen. Doch leider hinterläßt Elijah immer mehr blutentleerte Leichen in der Stadt und Tommy gerät als möglicher Killer in das Visier der Polizei...
    Moore erzählt die Geschichte in einem angenehmen Plauderton. Und auch wenn es seinen bunt zusammengewürfelten Charakteren manchmal an ein wenig Tiefe fehlt, gibt es genügend unterhaltsame amüsante und satirische Momente in diesem modernen, fantastischen Märchen.
    Das englische Original ist für Erwachsene mit guten Englischkenntnissen geeignet, da sowohl der Satzbau als auch das Vokabular gut verständlich sind. Allerdings verwendet Moore an einigen Stellen auch Amerikanismen und Umgangssprache, die jedoch den Lesefluß nicht behindern.

    Anyone having read Moore before will recognise the sarcastic, crazy humour. But the book as a whole is enjoyable even beyond the humour

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Don't buy "you suck" and "bloodsucking friends"
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 14. Oktober 2008
    Although amazon kindly suggests to buy "you suck" together with " bloodsucking friends" DON'T DO IT. They are both great books - but they are the same book, only with two different titles. Choose the one you like better. It's a great story, really funny and slightly connected to "a dirty job" (which is brillant, too).

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Emperor Norton's dogs save the day and the book!
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 10. Mai 1998
    This is another boonie dog book review from Wolfie and Kansas. "Bloodsucking Fiends" is another funny, well-plotted ofbeat book by Christopher Moore, full of entertaining characters. The basic story is living boy meets undead girl, and subjects her to very weird bondage.
    We admit to being a little tired of vampire books. Perhaps human writers should stop overdoing the vampire bit, and produce a few good books about what they call "werewolves". (We call them "werehumans".) "Bloodsucking Fiends" is saved from vampire triteness by Moore's humor and, from our perspective, the inclusion of dogs. The Van Helsing role in "Bloodsucking Fiends" is played by an Emperor Norton character, who leads an army consisting of a Boston terrier and a golden retriever.
    Finally, we hope we have not offended Christopher Moore's fans by giving this book a 9 rather than 10. We tend to save our tens for recognized classics of world literature, like "Waiting for Godot" and "Island of the Sequined Love Nun".

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Easy reader
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 9. Juni 2000
    This book was a great light and easy reader. I read it within a matter of days. It was given to be by a friend who enjoyed it a lot. All of my friends have read and loved the book. Most of my friends have read it two or three times even. Even though this book has a few spots that are a little bit revealing I still enjoyed the book. I chose this book to read for a book report because I had heard so many good things about it. I don't think that I could praise this book enough. So if you are looking for an easy book to read over the summer this would be a great book to have.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Vampires funny? Read it and weep with laughter!
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 20. Oktober 1997
    After reading "Coyote Blue", I thought there might be a letdown with another Moore book. Could he possibly be as funny? Well, let me tell you, he's even funnier in this wonderful tale of vampires. His cast of characters, which include the Emperor, dogs in pie-tin helmets, the Animals (a gang of after hours stock boys), a naive young would-be writer from Indiana, snapping turtles, a gay cop-straight cop pair, and a couple of irreverent bronze-plating artists, make for a wild romp. My one problem is that only people who are familiar with Christopher Moore would contact this site. With all these 10's as reviews, how do we get others to become as in love with Moore as we are? Is there a rave review section (all l0's) that people can contact? If not, there should be. Enough! I must go to start reading "Island of the Sequined Love Nun." Is that a title, or what?

    4,0 von 5 Sternen Too much. too soon. too fast
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 12. Juni 2000
    Sometimes when reading this thing I didn't know what tone to accept it as. It can go from supernatural, comic, darkly comic, psychedlic, action, and romantic from chapter to chapter. Odds are if you are a fan of just one of those above listed styles you'll like the book. But sometimes they just don't gel very well together. The 2 main characters are very tight, part of the supporting cast as well, and another 2 are introduced halfway through, and their arc feels rushed. The last 5 pages of the book are really lame, as if the author went for one ending, and then zags towards another when he thought it wouldn't work. I will say that two characters who serve as interests of the lead are given no resolution, but if they had the book would have been superb (5 stars). Overall if you like stuff that has some okay action sequences, nice comic acts, and realistic and intelligent approaches to supernatureal situtaions this is for you. But if you don't like contrived comic situations or hokey love stories (it starts out horn-dog and ends with something--different) I'd say stay away. However, if someone recommended this to you because you like vampires, or similar authors (like Elmore Leonard) go for i t.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen Wacky humor but boring and predictable ending
    Bewertet in Deutschland am 23. Februar 1999
    This is an easy five-day read that will have you crying and doubled over with laughter. It is the story of a professional San Francisco woman turned unwillingly into a vampire who falls in love with a "fresh-off the boat from the midwest" "wanna-be writer" who works nights at the Marina Safeway, stocking shelves and bowling with frozen turkeys. The author takes you on a wild ride of crazy plot twists and wackingly entertaining character developments. I read many passages out loud to friends. I was disappointed with the ending, however, because I felt as though the author chose to wrap it up by relying on the familiar "let's kill the head vampire" plot.

    The young girl unwittingly gets turned into a vampire and has an adventure. She falls in love with a goofy mortal, fends of her maker vampire and the police, and interacts with a host of memorable characters. Kept me interested and smiling the whole read. Loved it.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen American jokes over my head
    Bewertet in Australien am 17. März 2019
    Verifizierter Kauf
    Overall it's a fun read. The story itself isn't earth shattering but I had a chuckle none the less.

    My only issue is that there's a lot of American referneces. Not being from the US, some of them went over my head. For example, I couldn't work out why the number 49 kept getting mentioned. Why 49 out of all the numbers! Finally worked out that it's the name of an American football team.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen They may suck but they don't "suck"
    Bewertet in Japan am 5. Februar 2012
    Verifizierter Kauf
    This is the first book in Christopher Moore's vampire series, which is followed by "You Suck" and "Bite Me." It is a strong entry, although the middle book ("You Suck") is perhaps the most entertaining.

    In this book we are introduced to Jody, a vampire "noob" who is trying to survive and figure out why she woke up under a dumpster with a burnt arm, superhuman strength, and a craving for blood. While she's trying to piece together a new life she meets the adorably weak Tommy in a supermarket parking lot, and thus starts their unusual romance. What starts out as merely a minion-master relationship grows as they fight for survival against an ancient evil.

    Don't let the subtitle "A Love Story" mislead you; this is a first-rate comedy that never gets too sappy. "Bloodsucking Fiends" is a welcome respite from the predictable vampire-human romances that have become common recently. Give it a try!

    Like the rest of the world (ok most of the world making an average income), I am inherently cheap. I gasped at the electronic price of this book then held my breath clicked the buy button, opened the book, and couldn't put the damn thing down! Buy this writers work....that's my advice. If you want an evening of full-blown readers ecstasy buy it. This author has a wonderful way of weaving words together that leave you wanting more, more, more. To the writer, forgive my comment about the price, to the potential purchaser...just pay it and sit down knowing you're about to enter readers heaven.
