Synopsis

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.

About Christopher Moore

Christopher Moore is a literary mischief-maker, delighting readers with his signature blend of satire, absurdity, and heart. With a career spanning over three decades, he's the mind behind cult classics like Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, Practical Demonkeeping, and A Dirty Job. Moore's novels often straddle the line between the sacred and the profane, delivering laugh-out-loud moments alongside surprisingly profound insights. Hailing from Toledo, Ohio, and having dabbled in everything from rock band roadie to insurance broker, he brings a unique everyman charm to his fantastical tales. When he's not writing, Moore splits his time between exploring quirky small towns and tormenting his social media followers with puns.

His books are so fun to read. I love his brash, funny, blunt and charming sense of humor. I laugh out loud reading his books. I could really picture this book being a movie. Can't wait to read more by this author, he's my new favorite!

Goodreads review by Mick on June 15, 2009

Okay. I like humor. Some people tell me, based on my looks, it's darn good I like humor, 'cause I sure need a sense of it. I like funny movies, funny stories, dirty jokes; what I don't see a whole lot of, are funny books. I mean, laugh-out-loud funny books. ISLAND OF THE SEQUINED LOVE NUN is a witty......more

Goodreads review by Bandit on May 01, 2020

I'm pretty sure it's impossible not to enjoy Christopher Moore's books. His awesome imagination creates these terrifically preposterous scenarios and his killer combo of wit and humor turn every story into such a fun read. About the only author to consistently have me laugh out loud during reading.......more

Goodreads review by Marvin on April 03, 2010

Does Christopher Moore know how to write a bad novel? Does he even know how to write an average novel? While Island of The Sequined Love Nun is not the equal of Lamb and A Dirty Job, it is still a total delight with Moore's cast of insane characters and tightly woven if outlandish plots. And of cour......more

Goodreads review by Wendi on December 10, 2008

When you read the first chapter of this book you will say to yourself, what the He**? Only not in a bad way. I could not stop reading and actually had read halfway through by the end of the day. It is about a washed up pilot who is an alchoholic and is asked to fly a jet for a Mary Kay type person.......more

Goodreads review by Ralph on March 19, 2018

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......more
