What a wonderful imagination Christopher Moore has--though I wonder what kind of upbringing he had--he must have had very understanding parents lol! This book is set in Hawaii on the Island of Lahania. My family went to Maui a few years ago and the description of the channel in between the two islands brings back memories of my dad and I snorkeling out there by the harbor. This is one of the most creative books I have read in a long time--this is not my normal genre (which is historical fiction). I'm reading it for a book club and am pleasantly surprised. Will definately look forward to more Moore. =)
