    "Funny and whitty"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    It was my first book by the author and I had no expectations - I was very happily surprised to find out the story is not at all linear and obvious and the writting is clever and funny all the way. I will definetely search for more titles from C. Moore!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The sory is not basic and the writing is really nice. It keeps you up and running all along - and smiling!


    What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

    He got the character very well and was excellent doing the voices of the secondary ones too. He keeps up the pace of the story, no slowing down, very good.


    If you could rename Island of the Sequined Love Nun, what would you call it?

    "Have you considered living in the tropics?"

    "Fun!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Island of the Sequined Love Nun to be better than the print version?

    This book was so fun to listen to! The characters come to life from the hand of Mr. Moore, but Oliver Wyman does a great job giving them a voice! I particularly loved the voice of "Kimmie the Navigator" This book does not drag in any chapter it is beat after beat of action and perfect story telling. This story may not be everyons cup of tea, but if you want to hear a funny story give it a try.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Oh man so many great parts. But I would say with out spoiling anything. When Vincent tells Malink to build the ladders and he does it on faith alone. Sort of like Noah.


    Which character – as performed by Oliver Wyman – was your favorite?

    Beth Curtis


    Who was the most memorable character of Island of the Sequined Love Nun and why?

    Hard to decide from Malink or Sarapul, but I would say Malink. He did well for the shark people. He trusted in Vincent.

    "Too slow to bother with"

    This was a huge disappointment. Practical Demonkeeping is great but this book just drags........and drags........ I have tried and tried to get to a funny part but by the end of part 1 of the download, I still did not enjoy it. So I just gave it up.

    "Good but not great!"

    This is my least favorite of Christopher Moore's titles. It was just so out there and a little hard to follow at times. I liked it... but didn't love it.

    "Save your credits..."

    Not nearly as good as Moore's other books. I'm a huge fan of the You Suck series, and have liked a few others like Lamb, but this one was not funny. It didn't make any sense and was so out there that I didn't laugh once. I stopped half-way through.

    "gratuitous everything and not funny"

    I really enjoy listening to Christopher Moore's other books, but this one was pretty terrible. The main character was unappealing, as was almost every other character, the story was predictable and there was a plethora of patronizing and offensive stereotypes littered throughout the book. Give it a skip.
