Island of the Sequined Love Nun

De: Christopher Moore

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

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.

Another great Moore book!

This was my second Moore book (after A Dirty Job).

He's a very fun writer, and his books are compelling and well crafted. I absolutely recommend this one and can't wait to hear more.

Loved it

Excellent character development and over all interesting story. Even made me laugh a couple times. Narration was perfect.

Entertaining

Not bad at all. I listened previously to Lamb from the same author and thought that was very good. While this was entertaining it did not seem to be at the same level. I'll have to try something else by this author.

words words words

good story, nice ear candy

I need more words to submit so I am rambling on until I can submit

entertaining

this book kept me entertained with humor and action. loved the misfit detractors that make it so fun to listen to.

fun in the sun

moore spins funny yarns that are highly descriptive and can evoke wonderfully imaginative plots and characters

Superb Adventure!

Redemption & revenge in a most unexpected ruckus rendition of reprehensible characters replacing bad things for good.

Wonderful!!

An excellent and fun story that has everything... yes even explosions and sharks. I really enjoyed it.

Another amazing story by Moore!

So while reading this book I found myself wondering how Moore came up with the characters and story line and decided he filled a fishbowl with slips of papers each one written with random and unrelated characters, locations and scenarios. He then pulled those papers out as he wrote and voila, a story is born. Either that, or this man is crazy creative. Fun story!

Good story good narrator

Good hero and : good characters. Tuck appears later in The Lust Wizard Of Melancoly Cove.
