Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

by Christopher Moore

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 years -- except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams"...

“I loved this book! It is definitely a VERY creative story regarding the childhood of Jesus. Some might find it to be offensive, but I thought it was inspiring to think of Christ as a "real" human being. So often we put the life of Jesus on a pedestal because of what we know of him during his ministry. The other 30 years of his life and how he spent those days is unknown! I am very cautious about reading things that would make a mockery of God, and I feel that this book was NOT a mockery,...”

“Did not like this book. "if a reader knows the Bible well enough to recognize the real references, there's a good chance that he or she has decided not to read this book. This book is blasphemous and sacriligeous. I do respect that the author did research the book so that there is some accuracy, especially on Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute, the wise men, and assumption of Joseph's death.”

    “For those of you who liked this book, another of the same ilk but even funnier is "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. It's an hilarious rewrite of the Apocalypse, irreverent and laugh-out-loud!”

    “I agree with Jesskat, the fart and sex commentary got old quick but the book went on forever. I agree Moore can write but I wanted to know more about Biff's pal and not Biff. That was the point of waking him from the dead wasn't it? I can appreciate why some readers enjoyed it. Me, I got bored. Too bored to finish it.”
