Blues fur Vollmond und Kojote by Christopher Moore. You Suck by Christopher Moore. The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. 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.
Hilarious book! Christopher Moore has a witty writing style and still kept the true essence of who Jesus Christ is. Really fun book. Silly and fresh. I enjoyed how the author wove in so many real biblical events and made them make sense in context of the story.
The narrator was funny and sounded like he was from New York and Jewish and just sort of a macho goofball. It was hilarious. The only thing I did not like was sometimes the humor was at women's expense. I don't have the words to Express my love for everything about this book.

Because of my personal history, I tend to balk at books with Christian themes. My experience with religion has always been very forceful and unforgiving, and as a result, I avoid things with Christian themes like the plague.
I say this because reading Lamb was a leap for me. I skipped over it for a while on my TBR, danced around it, considered removing it because even though it sounded like it could be funny, I was worried it was going to be an 18 hour sermon. Which is fine, not my cup of tea, but totally fine. I agree to have my name, email address, and comment information stored.

In Christopher Moore's ingenious debut novel, we meet one of the most memorably mismatched pairs in the annals of literature. The good-looking one is one-hundred-year-old ex-seminarian and "roads" scholar Travis O'Hearn. The green one is Catch, a demon with a nasty habit of eating most of the people he meets. Take a wonderfully crazed excursion into the demented heart of a tropical paradise - a world of cargo cults, cannibals, mad scientists, ninjas, and talking fruit bats.

Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too.
Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death. Witness the epic battle of the cyclops! Visit the endangered dragon preserve! Please, no slaying. Solve the mystery of The Mystery Cottage, if you dare! Buy some knickknacks from The Fates! They might come in handy later. On a road trip across an enchanted America, Helen and Troy will discover all this and more. If the curse placed upon them by an ancient god doesn't kill them or the pack of reluctant orc assassins don't catch up to them, Helen and Troy might reach the end their journey in one piece, where they might just end up destroying the world.
