What do readers think of Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore? Write your own review.

Christopher Moore weaves an irreverant tale of mystery surrounding the Paris art scene of the late 1800's. In Sacre Bleu, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, when sober and upright, joins his young, aspiring artist/bread-baker friend, Lucien Lessard, in an attempt to discover the truth about The Colorman and his body-hopping muse, Julliette.

The story is riddled with attempts at humor. I actually laughed out loud a few times, but alas, too few. Too often, they produced only groans.

Moore includes many famous artists and samples their work as part of the story line. That part worked well.

I was not familiar with Chrisopher Moore's previous novels. Knowing what I know now, I would not have chosen this book to review.

This book is an attempt to portray the life of famous artists in Paris around the turn of the 20th Century in a creative and humorous way. The writing is mediocre and the plot thin. I did not find it particularly humorous or entertaining

I realize that Christopher Moore is known for his irreverent treatment of various subjects, but I really couldn't get past the frat-boy "humor". This could have been an interesting take on that particular era in art history otherwise.

Christopher Moore's Sacre Bleu is one of the most dreadful books I've ever struggled through. I can appreciate the author's premise--barely, but the way the plot unfolded was tedious. None of the characters were appealing. I suppose the author was shooting for humor, but he certainly struck me with his decided lack of depth.
