Loading... Fluke, or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings (2003)by Christopher Moore
  
No current Talk conversations about this book. Fluke starts out as the story of whale researchers in Hawaii studying humpback whale songs. One day, Nate (the lead researcher on the team) notices something strange about one of the whales and the story takes a major turn to the fantasy/science fiction genres. I enjoyed reading this story. I enjoyed the humorous look at the research community and although the story went a little "out there" I found the scientific explanation for the fantasy elements interesting to think about. The humor at times reminded me of my teenage son's sense of humor, but it fit the mentality of the characters. (  ) Cora-R | Jul 11, 2019 |  Just finished Fluke by Christopher Moore. I do love this author! His plots are highly improbably, yet they work for me and he has such a great sense of humor. This one follows a marine behavioral biologist and his photographer as they try to decipher songs of the whales. Except that then one of the whales flashes our heel a note on the back of his tail, which reads "Bite Me." And things get weirder from there. There's a little romance, a funny Rasta boy, some cool marine info and lots of fun. Great summer read. (  ) Berly | May 26, 2019 | After trying Moore's Sacre Bleu many years back, and having it not work for me, I avoided starting anymore of his books. That was clearly a mistake that I am happy to have rectified. This is now the third book of Moore's that I've loved. This was fun and I love his smart ass sense of humour. I will keep going with Moore's novels. I've been loving them on audio and I think I will keep with this format. ( ) ChelleBearss | May 5, 2018 | I have read a lot of Christopher Moore and get the humor and far fetched premise of his books . . . but this one - no thanks. i just could not get into the concept and had a hard time finishing this one. I guess I just didn't get it. (  ) sbenne3 | Nov 27, 2017 | Christopher Moore, audio book, long car trip, husband laughing out loud as he drives, oh, and whales-- what's not to like?
