I am now entranced by Christopher Moore. This is the second of his books that I've read, and it's sweet and funny and emotional and true, and also packed full of science and reality and the details of life as a whale researcher in Hawaii... AND packed full of wild science fiction insanity and speculation. What more could one want?
It does feel a bit like two different books at a certain point, and I really can't go into more detail lest I ruin it for someone, but both parts are nicely done. If I were to offer a critique it would apply to this book and to "A Dirty Job"; the character building is so great that I got a little disappointed when the book shifted to straight action. Christopher Moore just has a great feel for the ways in which men and women interact and more specifically the ways in which men react to women. He also does a great job of making the unlikely seem possible.
