Average Rating: Rating: - A Wonderful Departure from my norm.... Well, let's see... Talking fruit bat Roberto; a transvestite navigator; a hooker on a quest to join the mile high club. These are but a few of the zany and outrageous characters that are part of the wildest, most outrageous novel I've read in a long time. There are evil conspiracies, suspense, adventure, and Moore invokes a moral point of view where the bad guys come up against a really loose cannon, Tucker Case, pilot of a PINK jet; well, I hesitate to mention more, as I feel the surprise plots are what make this book the bizarre and outlandish jewel of a satirical, rollicking romp through a remote region of the South Pacific. I just loved that fruit bat, Roberto! Congratulations/Compliments to the cover artist, Michael McGurl. You're the first reason I was drawn to my first Christopher Moore keeper! Rating: - Who says you can't write a hilarious suspense page-turner? Christopher Moore is emerging as one of the most original writers of the decade....easily! In "LOve Nun" he has managed to blend suspense and intrigue in an action-packed story that keeps you doubled over with laughter. Unlikely combination? I'll say, but to read it is to believe it. Moore is a writer whose sharp wit pierces the armor of reason, respectability, and righteousness with constant mirth and good spirits. I can't recommend the book highly enough. I've already given away a dozen "must read" copies to friends. If you haven't read any of Moore's books, fill your shopping cart right now with "Practical Demonkeeping", Coyote Blue, "Bloodsucking Fiends" and "Island of the Sequined Love Nun." You are in for a treat. Call in sick tomorrow and read, read, read and shout with laughter. No, I'm not Moore's father, brother or even brother-in-law. Never met the guy and might even be afraid to go near somebody so goofy, but I can't put his books down. Rating: - A rollicking, hilarious story w/ marvelous characters. Christopher Moore ranks among the freshest, hippest, inventively comic literary voices around today. In this, his 4th novel, we follow the trvails of Tucker Chase, reprobate pilot whose penchant for strong drink and exotic women leads him into involuntary employment in Micronesia for a doctor whose "practice" involves the harvesting of human organs from umwitting "donars". Tucker's road to ruin, realization and redemption is an entertaining whirlwind involving Moore's usual cast of memorable, zany characters. This book is somewhat less reliant on the supernatural as a mainstay of the plot mechanism (though this might seem an untenable statement to those not familiar with Moore's books as this story includes the presence of a talking fruitbat and the ghost of a WWII bomber pilot as central characters)while providing a broader cast of significan't, meaty characters to enjoy getting to know. On the whole I'd rate this effort just behind "Bloodsucking Fiends" but solidly ahead of his other two books. This represents the perfect vacation and/or beach read so long as you don't mind people looking at you while you laugh out loud while reading!
