This is Christopher Moore's fourth novel, and it's exponentially better than any that have come before. It's a hilarious romp with a hero that's by turns dorky, and the coolest guy on the planet. Throw in some "Mary Kay commandos" and a talking fruit bat, and you've got several hours of the most entertaining reading ever devised.

Seriously wacky and great book! I loved this more than Bloodsucking Fiends. The ending was very satisfying. It is zany but not too bad so you get irritated. First RATE!

I laughed out loud in several places reading this book. Makes me want to read more of Moores.

I loved "Lamb" and thought "The Stupidest Angel" was, well, stupid. This one started out a little bit too 'out there' for me, but quickly became so upsurd that it was hilarious. I just kept wondering: How is he going to get the characters out of this one? And just what part of left field is he going to come from next? LOL!

Reading this book was like watching a "B" movie, but in a good kitschy way. It was very entertaining and I looked forward to reading it. The story line and characters were a bit absurd and silly, but I think that is what made it fun.

It's a wild, crazy a funny book with a cannibal and a talking bat, as in all great adventure books.

I thought this book was fun to read, but at the same time it was so completely bizarre that I felt bad filling my head with such drivel. Remote islands, talking bats, isolated people with a WWII pilot as a deity, lots of weird.

This book is hilarious. A can't put it down, laugh out loud fun read. Not for the faint of heart -- let's just say there is a pilot on the run from his former boss now running shady trips for high priestess -- and that's just a small part of it.

Funny funny funny! Love the humor of his writing, the stories are fun, entertaining and so I would of said that too style! You can't beat a talking fruit bat, a drunk pilot and an island full of naked people! Don't miss this fun time in the island.

This book is a hoot from beginning to end! What with a talking bat, a strangely endearing cannibal and stolen human organs, you can't help but wonder what the next page is going to bring. What fun!
