Humor (Fiction.) HTML:

The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing yearsâ??except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in this divinely hilarious, yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).

Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh moreâ??except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdalaâ??and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fi… (meer)

    Dr.Science: The English author Tom Holt is relatively unknown in America, but very popular in England. If you enjoy Jasper Fforde or Christopher Moore you will most certainly enjoy Tom Holt's wry sense of English humor and the absurd. He has written a number of excellent books including Expecting Someone Taller, and Flying Dutch, but they may be difficult to find at your library or bookstore.… (meer)

    Only Begotten Daughter door James Morrow (the_awesome_opossum)
    the_awesome_opossum: Only Begotten Daughter is darker and less whimsical than Lamb, but the protagonist - the daughter of God - also struggles with her divinity and purpose on Earth. It is funny in spots, but in a more wry and satirical way. So if you liked the more serious parts of Lamb, try this book… (meer)

I have never picked up a Christopher Moore book that I have not liked, and Lamb is no exception.
I also find it a great read for Lent.
This must be the third time I have read the book, though the first I can recall doing so while marching toward Easter Sunday. ( )

I loved this book. Such a fun and uniquely human perspective of Christ. I laughed often and found myself appreciating the Biblical struggles of our Lord even more. ( )
  Zombimomi | Feb 10, 2024 |
Loved this book! Even with all the humor, you could feel an element of joyful spirituality in this tale. This book shows let's us enjoy some fun and guessing about our Savoir may have been like. Great read for everyone. ( )

"Lamb" is an incredibly compelling work even for readers who don't agree with Moore's conclusions. The book is also laugh out loud funny at times, which really helps during some of more irreverent parts of the story.
