While this novel is NOT one of the laugh-a-minute books that I've come to epxect from Christopher Moore, it is indeed a work of art.

With a smattering of historical facts interwined expertly with an imagined place in time, Sacre Bleu takes you deep into the world of the artists (and bakers, and hookers (oh my!)) of Paris in the late 1800s. It will open your eyes to a new way of viewing the masterpieces when next you walk into the local Art Museum.

Also, it has some very funny parts... I mean come on, it's Christopher Moore. He's often funny by accident. It can't be helped.
