Commentary Concering Books Island of the Sequined Love Nun

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, and wickedly funny novel from a modern master of the outrageous.

Evaluation Epithetical Books Island of the Sequined Love Nun

Island of the Sequined Love Nun by Christopher Moore tells the story of Tucker Case, a neer do well corporate pilot who, after a hilarious allusion to Shakespeare, winds up in a chaotic Moore created bad trip in Micronesia. Somewhere along the way we meet reformed cannibals, a transvestite Filipino navigator, some wacky Pacific Ocean cargo cults, and the ghost of a WWII fighter pilot. Not one of his best novels, all the same, Christopher Moore novels join the ranks of pizza and sex where a good

I listened to this as an audio book and thought it was going to be disappointing. However, it picked up after the first half and became quite entertaining. Moore has a very offbeat sense of humor and you have to be willing to just go with his improbable scenarios.

Island of the Sequined Love Nun is absolutely hilarious. Christopher Moore has a style akin to Tom Robbins, of whom I am a big fan. Sardonic and clever. Excellently ridiculous story line, completely engaging. If done right, could be made into an excellent movie. I highly recommend this read.

Since reading Dream Park by Larry Niven as a young lad, I've always had an interest in Cargo Cult stories. This was a lot of fun, but not as engaging as I'm used to from a Christopher Moore book. I didn't connect with a lot of the characters like I usually do with his stories. I enjoyed it, but can I safely say I'll remember it a month from now?

Meet cannibal Pacific islanders who; really believe in the Cargo Cult religion,worship a real life Sky Princess,who gives them Hollywood magazines and coffee.Meet her colleague, who is also worshiped as the Sorcerer, who harvests organs from the cannibals.Follow the wild adventures of an American pilot, a cross-dressing Filipino navigator and a multi-lingual fruit bat as they land on the island of the Sequined Love Nun. They don't know it yet, but they will attempt to save all the islanders.A

Amusing: Quite entertaining; pleasantly diverting; causing a smile or laugh!

Thoroughly amusing and thoroughly dated... This book reeks of the 90s, but I love it all the same.I really love the way that Christopher Moore's books all have similar elements. Even though the content may be completely unrelated, most of the books that are placed in a contemporary setting have an enjoyably consistent element here or there of gods, crazies, and monsters who all think and act according to the same mythos.
