About this product

Product Information

"Readers new to the work of Christopher Moore will want to know two things immediately. First: Where has this guy been hiding? (Answer: In plain sight, since he has a cult following.)...[H]e writes laid back fables straight out of Margaritaville, on the cusp of humor and science fiction."--Janet Maslin, New York Times Whale researcher Nathan Quinn has a problem. It's not a new problem; in fact, it's been around for nearly 20 million years. And Nate's spent most of his adult life working to solve it. You see, although everybody (well, almost everybody) knows that humpback whales sing (outside of human composition, the most complex songs on the planet) no one knows why. Nate, a Ph.D. in behavior biology, intends to discover the answer to this burning question--and soon. Every winter he and Clay Demolocus, his partner in the Maui Whale Research Foundation, ply the warm waters between the islands of Maui and Lanai, recording the eerily beautiful songs of the humpbacks and returning to their lab for electronic analysis. The trouble is, Nate's beginning to wonder if he hasn't spent just a little too much time in the sun. Either that, or he's losing his mind. Because today, as he was shooting an I.D. photo of a humpback tail fluke, Nate could've sworn he saw the words "Bite Me" scrawled across the whale's tail. . .

  • Christopher Moore ROCKS!

    Christopher Moore is probably my favorite author. I have read all of his books and have not been let down by any of them. His humor is unlike anyone else out there, and his creativity will take you places you never even came close to dreaming of. This story is about whales, stoners, scientists, and many more classic characters. Moore did his research. This isnt my favorite book of his, but since I love all his books and lend them out regularly I felt that purchasing a used copy to lend out was a good way to go. Seriously, check out Christopher Moore, he will leave you wanting more!

  • Great read for Marine Biologists

    When I received it the book format was very nice and clean, pliable and light and easy to hold. I like the atmosphere that he creates for the Biologists on Maui, and the originality and quirkiness of the Whaley Boys..I read it a long time ago on my kindle and wanted a copy on my bookshelf along with some of his other favorite books that I have read. However, the book was switched on me a couple of times now and the first switch, I was angry for the pages were very dirty looking and yellow and the cover brittle, so I tore it up and threw it out, but still loved the cover artwork, so peiced it back together and only had a white cotton rope key lanyard to hold it together. It is back on my bookshelf now and only some great, funny, and profound passages are readable, now. I apologize for my ...

  • Fluke review

    I am a big fan of Christopher Moore and finding his books are difficult in my areea so i went to ebay. If you are a fan of comedy writing then any of his books will have you rolling on the floor. the books are a great break from all the seriousness of life.
