Single sentence summary: Vom the Hungering had been living in the closet for centuries but when Diana movies into the apartment where he lives, Vom may get the chance to live without eating everything in sight and winding back up in the closet. This was a fun and completely wacky book. Filled with unusual characters that you can't help but love even though you wonder why (I mean, what is loveable about a monster that eats EVERYTHING?). Vom was fun but what really made this book for me was Diana. She just went with the flow of everything and tried figuring out how to live in the world she is suddenly part of. I liked the ridiculous situations she got herself and how her response was so nonchalant about them. Well, maybe nonchalant is the wrong word but she didn't let the weirdness of the situation stop her. The situations in this book wouldn't be the laugh that they are if it wasn't for the world Martinez has created. This isn't the Earth that we see out the window but one where some creature chases the moon and typical rules of reality don't always apply. Monsters are real and need to walk their pets too. Most humans just don't see the differences, but Diana does and it is tearing a rift in the universe. Diana needs to find out how to fix the rift before the entire galaxy is destroyed...and that is only if Vom doesn't eat her first. Chasing the Moon is a funny and quirky book filled with unique characters (that goes way beyond Diana and Vom). 4 Stars.

I had a very strange feeling reading this book, some sense of nostalgia, that I'd never experienced before. I don't know if it was because I'd seen the movies several times before reading the books (but I've done that before), or maybe the fact I knew I was reading something that has basically shaped the fantasy genre since its publication. At the same time I never felt bogged with cliches, because he made all those (now) cliches work. Now I can only shake my head in pity at anyone who tries to emulate elves or dwarves the way he did. I mean this basically in a copycat manner, like those Dragonlance books or Eragon or in video games (even some I love, like Dragon Age). There is just no way to beat Tolkien at his own game. Toward the end of this particular book, I actually began to feel a little emotional. When I finished the book, then started to read some of the Appendices, it dawned on me how much Tolkien must have loved Middle Earth. You just don't spend that much time and energy developing something so deep and so concrete without absolutely loving it. People can say what they want about his writing style (it bored me sometimes, I'll admit it), but no one can criticize his worldbuilding. Cultures, clothing, names, songs, poems, traditions, symbols, weapons, languages, holidays, politics, stories, legends, history--I used to be impressed with George R. R. Martin's world, but he's solidly in second place now. I don't think anyone can conquer Tolkien in that regard. I feel like, if he were still alive, you could ask him the minutest question about Middle Earth and he could answer it like it was a scientific fact. Or maybe his love of Middle Earth is just rubbing off on me.
