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


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The first book I read by Christopher Moore was Practical Demonkeeping. (an interesting aside: the demon "Catch" appears in both books) I found the humor in "PD" to be strained and too deliberate. Although Moore's style in Lamb is probably not too different, I found the book to be hilarious. Moore uses situational comedy, plays on words, historical anachronisms, and other methods of humor throughout. I probably laughed out loud more times in the course of reading this book than any book I've ever read.
After reading Lamb, I understand why Moore has such a following. I highly recommend this book.
