From One Book Lover

Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. The title alone begs the question: how can one resist? Well, this one did — and for much, much too long. Don't make the same mistake I did: start reading now. In fact, skip the review, read the book, then come back and see if you agree. Now that it's just us smart people who already read the book... wasn't Christopher Moore's book cool? Plus, it answers the question of where Jeffrey Small got his ideas. Everyone wonders how Jesus Christ spent his youth, where he got his middle name, how he became such a Lamb of God. Also, did he learn judo? Could he teach an elephant yoga? And why did he walk straight into the lion's den? This book is Christopher Moore at his best — but it's not typical Moore. Usually he has me rolling on the floor in side-splitting laughter — and with this book, from time to time, I had to pick myself up off the floor. But not as often as I expected. Thank heavens...
