1 journaler for this copy...
I found this slightly-battered softcover at the Goodwill store in Hudson NH, and nabbed it for another release copy. (When the clerk saw the book, he announced himself a Moore fan as well, and we had a lovely book-chat.)
It looks as if Moore is trying his best to make each book as different from his others as he can! While I didn't think this one was as good as Lamb (my favorite Moore book so far), I enjoyed it very much - although for a while there things looked pretty bad for our hero. Moore captures the essence of the Trickster, I think - living for the moment, never being afraid to try something... I liked the "mangled mythology" (with a nod to "Fractured Fairy Tales" - kids, ask your parents), and cringed in sympathy every time Coyote broke down another self-built wall in Sam's life. Great resolution, too.
[There's a short TV Tropes page on the book.]
