Review of "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I recently hung out with Christopher Moore for about the better part of an hour and he was genuinely one of the funniest human beings I've ever been around. But I'd never read any of his books. So, recently, I picked up Lamb at an airport bookstore (Milwaukee's airport has a GREAT bookstore) and read it over a trip to New Orleans. The premise is described all over this page, so I won't regurgitate it here. I'll just say that this isn't the kind of book that I read typically—though I'm not sure why. I seem to have forgotten that reading can be fun. I like that Moore takes fun very seriously, behind his goofy characters and scenarios is some very serious research. Anyway, I liked it. I will say that there were—to me anyway—some cringeworthy moments.
