It is light-hearted and wacky, and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it is not mean-spirited. For what it’s worth, I don’t consider Lamb to be a mockery of the Christian religion. It will strike some as annoying (I think all the one-liners are great, but I then think a pie in the face is the height of humor), and others will find it sacrilegious.
This definitely isn’t a book for everyone.
The general gist is the same as what you’d find in a Christian bible, but the details are presented in ways you probably hadn’t quite imagined: There are a lot more dumb jokes, and pretty girls, and swear words. It is through Biff’s wisecracking perspective that we get a fresh look at the events of the life and death of Jesus. If you’d be interested in a snarky pseudo-gospel, however, come listen to what Biff has to say. Now it is true that all of Christopher Moore’s books are completely irreverent, but I do advise you to stay away from this one if you don’t want to read about irreverence as applied to the life of Jesus. Let’s see what I can remember from Sunday school of Jesus’ disciples: There was John, and Mark, and Luke, and… And heck, that other guy, um….Ĭhristopher Moore has written a completely irreverent book.
