Irreverent, bold, and hytsterical- You know, it's like bacon

I love this novel, and so do the four hundred or so friends to whom I have given or leant it. Hands down, this is Moore's best book thus far, and I adore all of his books, with Fluke coming in second. There are certainly people who may be offended by the irreverence, but this book actually led me to study The Bible more in depth and it absolutely affirms my belief that God has a sense of humor. Starting with the killing of the lizards and their healing, right up through learning, through Biff, the joys (and required healings) of the brothel, to my favorite, the discovery of coffee, this book is refreshingly funny and obviously not meant to be taken too seriously. I don't often belly laugh reading a book, but this one just cracked me up. The book is very much, as Joshua says throughout, like bacon. If you don't get that joke, you must read it.

This book is great!

I absolutely adore this book! This is one I can read over and over again, and still be able to laugh! Even though it's a fictional book, it makes Jesus (Joshua)human and you enjoy following Biff and Joshua on their search for what it means to be the Messiah. The angel Raziel is hilarious, too, with his aspiration to become Spider-man! This book got me hooked on Christopher Moore!

Awesome Book

It has been a while since I read this book but it is really really good. It is not meant to be taken literally for those of you out there that can't tell that. Christopher Moore is a hilarious writer but this book seems to let the humor seep in slowly and less obviously than many of his other books. This is a super quick easy and fun read. It really gives a humorous insight to the time period of Christ's life that is left out in the Bible.

Highly Recommended for any one.

Some great one-liners, but not a book

This is a weak book by a good author. It tells the story of Jesus' middle years in a half-comic, half we-are-all-one sort of way. The premise is interesting, but the book reads like a collection of one-liners produced by a group of writers for stand-up comedy.
This was a book club pick and I found it hard to get past the first 50 pages.
