What did jesus do during those lost years???
This was very well read. The narrator kept my attention. I did have to listen to it twice because the wit and humor does get a little lost in the biblical "stuff". Speaking of biblical, if you are highly religious, you might find this a little offensive. But I think people are way too sensitive about their religion anyway. This is FUNNY. I totally want the book that looks like a black bound bible for my bookshelf. That would be awesome.
Back to the book... this is great. It fills in what the other books of the bible didn't tell us... told by Joshua's (LOL) best friend... none other than Biff. I love Biff. I love that his name is Biff. I just love so much about that that I cannot even begin to explain why.
Fantastic!
One of the best religious satires in modern media. Every bit as funny as the movie "Dogma" and twice as sarcastic. Loved it!
Hylarious and moving story of Jesus
This is one great book, just freaking hilarious while also being pretty useful to me.
Lamb gives me context where I hadn't completely understood before.
Christopher tells the story of Christ from birth. While he talks about his life after he comes out and begins preaching openly, he focus much more on Christ's formative years, everything from an interest in sin to learning the ways of the Buddha.
This is, of course, a complete work of fiction. Everything is made of from the author's mind. While he stuck to historical documents to keep some of it accurate, he certainly stretched a lot to make the story fun and fill in gaps which no one knew about.
I can't really explain the book in one post, ... Read More
Great book, would have loved to of met Biff in real life!!!
This is a great book, touches some interesting topics and avoids offending the religious. Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal is hilarious, I think I need to read some more books by: Christopher Moore as I think Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal is exactly what I need.
Biff is a Great Read!
A well crafted mixture of historical fact and fiction with a heavy helping of humor and a dash of irreverence. The blend somehow manages to respect the long-held image of Christ while creating a believable character at the same time.
