Editorial Reviews:

Take a wonderfully crazed excursion into the demented heart of a tropical paradise -- a world of cargo cults, cannibals, mad scientists, ninjas, and talking fruit bats. Our bumbling hero is Tucker Case, a hopeless geek trapped in a cool guy's body, who makes a living as a pilot for the Mary Jean Cosmetics Corporation. But when he demolishes his boss's pink plane during a drunken airborne liaison, Tuck must run for his life from Mary Jean's goons. Now there's only one employment opportunity left for him: piloting shady secret missions for an unscrupulous medical missionary and a sexy blond High Priestess on the remotest of Micronesian hells. Here is a brazen, ingenious, irreverent, wickedly funny novel from a modern master of the outrageous.

Summary: Moore is always a refreshingly original read
Comment: "`Boy, I'm glad all that supernatural stuff is over,' the bat said."

Our hero is Tucker Case, a dork in the body of a cool guy, who--after crashing the plane of a make-up CEO--is hired as a pilot for a mysterious Ozzie and Harriet missionary couple that double as a sorcerer and Sky Priestess for the local Shark People on a Caribbean island. Haunted by a dude in a gray jumpsuit that speaks in 1940s slang and accompanied by a transvestite navigator with a talking fruit bat, Tucker starts to unravel the mystery of the "cargo cult" and possibly obtain some sort of redemption. Fantastic, outrageous, clever, hilarious, and full of intriguing twists and turns; Christopher Moore is always refreshingly original. Grade: A-

Summary: Christopher Moore
Comment: The author hasn't written a bad book yet. Completely amusing and the characters are well developed as normal everyday people. Very relatable. If a regular person ended up in the situations the characters do, they would react the same.

Summary: This book is wicked funny!
Comment: Firstly, I bought most of these for someone I thought was a friend. But, eventually, my husband and I got a few by this author and we LOVED this book. So engaging and funny!

Summary: Not Lamb
Comment: "Lamb" was my first Moore exposure. And what a treat. "...Love Nun" is no Lamb and as the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. This is not what I'm looking for to occupy my reading time.

Summary: Worth reading.
Comment: Loved Lamb. This is my second Moore book. Though I didn't find it nearly as funny as Lamb, I certainly enjoyed it and would recommend it. It's a great story with great characters and takes place in a fascinating and unique setting. I also feel like I learned a lot and will share many of the facts with others, whether they are true or not.

I will definitely read more Moore.
