Laughing this much must be a sin!

This is one of the few books that I joyously read over and over. From the moment I read that Biff's mother was beset by demons... I knew he was my kind of guy.I have given this book to several of my friends as a must read. The best way to describe this story is to say that it is an irreverant satire that becomes reverant. Wonderful, READ IT! You wont be sorry.

A book anyone can appreciate! Funny, positive, and so enjoyable!

This is my second Christopher Moore book and I have to say I haven't laughed so much while reading a book since, well...never! I knew Mr. Moore was funny but with this effort I have to put him in the comic genius category. The concept is so clever and while he pokes fun at a lot of things I never felt offended. Regardless of your religious beliefs this book is pure fun while having a pretty nice little message. It's a nice reminder that we can all get along and appreciate our fellow man for what we have in common and especially for what we don't. We are all in this life together.

One of my favorite books

I'm a huge Christopher Moore fan and I can honestly say that this book is his BEST work ever! He pays attention to details of Jewish customs, traditions and the Scriptures, and firmly plants a huge dollop of imagination all over it!

There are some things that I take offense to (as a Christian), but I think overall it's true to the loving character of "Joshua". Even my atheist friends have LOVED it, so it's not for believers of any particular religious movement.

If you're looking for something purely entertaining, this is it!

Funny.

This was very funny up until Moore's take on the passion story, when it gets serious. I especially liked all the things Biff invents: matches, cream in coffee, sarcasm, etc. I also like it when he tries to fool Joshua (Jesus) by citing non-existent scripture, like Amphibians 6:5, for example, and Joshua, of course, plays the perfect staight-man. Moore obviously did his homework on this amusing tour of major world religions. I prefer a long, satisfying denouement and Moore's is rather abrubt, but the book was most enjoyable.

mildly humorous

More like science fiction than anything else. A peculiar, inventive, sometimes humorous retelling of the biblical story of Jesus. Gets pretty grim at the end (not surprisingly).
