As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Samson Hunts Alone - until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is Samuel Hunter, a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo, and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers him the dangerous gift of love - in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid - and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquillity into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam ... and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.… (més)
Dr.Science: The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books including Expecting Someone Taller, and Flying Dutch, but they may be difficult to find at your library or bookstore.… (més)
Loved this. I had been led to believe it would be hilarious, but although there were some funny moments, it was instead imaginative, mysterious, and just generally wonderful. Can't wait to dive into more Moore! ( )
Interesting blend of modern urban fantasy with Indian mythos, told with Moore's blend of humor. (I will note that I didn't find this novel as funny as his later works. Moore has been improving his comic style with time.) ( )
Christopher Moore is becoming one of my favorite light authors. Like Lamb, the first book of his that I read, this is funny, irreverent, slightly sacriligious, but also touching. Moore seems to be very good at portraying the trouble-making ordinary guy with a heart of gold, whether it's Sam Hunter, the insurance salesman protagonist of this book; Biff, from Lamb; or Old Man Coyote.

While magic powder was sprinkled on the sidewalk outside, Samuel Hunter moved around his office like a machine, firing out phone calls, checking computer printouts, and barking orders to his secretary.
