ReviewsI haven't finished reading [LAMB] yet, but I've managed to laugh myself to tears on more than one occasion., 'Although many will find something offensive in this novel, which pokes fun at every major religious tradition that existed in the first century, they will find it simply impossible not to laugh.'

Edition DescriptionSpecial,Gift
SynopsisEveryone knows about the immaculate conception and the crucifixion. But what happened to Jesus between the manger and the Sermon on the Mount? In this hilarious and bold novel, the acclaimed Christopher Moore shares the greatest story never told: the life of Christ as seen by his boyhood pal, Biff. Just what was Jesus doing during the many years that have gone unrecorded in the Bible? Biff was there at his side, and now after two thousand years, he shares those good, bad, ugly, and miraculous times. Screamingly funny, audaciously fresh, Lamb rivals the best of Tom Robbins and Carl Hiaasen, and is sure to please this gifted writer's fans and win him legions more.

If you like a little comedy with your heavenly host...
This was one of the funniest and most fun books I've ever read! If you are devout in your belief and spoiling for a fight, this one might not be for you. If however you have a sense of humor and don't mind a little fun being poked at Jesus (and friends), this is quite the enjoyable romp. And if you aren't particularly religious or if you aren't up on your Christian beliefs, you may want to keep Wikipedia nearby to help explain some of the background jokes. Regardless, I don't think you can go wrong with this joyful endeavor from Christopher Moore about the missing years in the life Jesus of Nazareth. Almost from page 1 there is humor that will make you laugh out loud. The story is at times insightful, wise, inventive, and downright adventurous! Mr. Moore tells an engaging story with a main character who is known to most people, but takes him on an engaging thrill ride that many would not expect. He takes a character who is understood to be divine and infuses him with humanity and humor! Well written and seemingly well researched, Mr. Moore hits it out of the park with this one.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

If you only have one book by Christopher Moore, this is it.
The leather bound mock-biblical edition of brilliant author Christopher Moore's classic tale, Lamb, is a great collectible for the longtime fans of his writing as well as a great way to introduce someone to Mr. Moore's work. In addition to the copy I purchased for my own library, I bought three more copies for gift-giving.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The book is titled "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal". It is a well titled.
Great book with quality construction and having it autographed is a nice added detail. Plus, I do not expect to be called by someone inquiring about its warranty. Now if only I could get the internet to stop asking me to rate and review every little thing....Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

The Greatest Story Finally Told
Once every two thousand years, a book comes along that changes the world. (It just takes a while for the world to catch on sometimes.) This book fills in all those gaps that the bible leaves out and sets the record straight on other events. This luscious leather bound masterpiece is the perfect gilded vessel for this incredible tale.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

A Very Wise, and Funny Story
Christopher Moore has written a book that will make you laugh, ache, and think. "Lamb" is the story of Jesus Christ from the age of 12-30, as told by his best friend Biff (a "good Jewish boy"). The book explores the humanity of Jesus, as he deals with the perils of adolescence in 1st century Israel. You will meet his mom, Mary, who struggles with the knowledge that her son has a greater mission, and the fact that the community thinks she is a few falafels short of a picnic basket. I highly recommend this book, if you are not afraid to laugh, and to think.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

"Lamb" is a well-researched sideways take on a very old tale.
Christopher Moore turns the Bible on its head in a surprisingly respectful and thoughtful satire of the life of one of the most controversial figures in history. It may be too salty for some, but it's a refreshing take that makes him much more human. This special edition in leather is gorgeous, and has its own place on my shelf. And it's signed! Woo!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Beautifully bound edition of a great book!
This is one of my husband's favorite books, and mine as well! I purchased it as a gift for him, and it is just beautiful. I can't wait to surprise him with it. I'm sure he'll love it. If you want a book that is hilarious and irreverent, Lamb is for you, it's laugh out loud funny!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Love it
Lamb is one of the funniest books ever. I bought two of the signed copies for people with senses of humor similar to mine (i.e. irreverent and twisted). This edition is so beautiful and worth saving that I'm going to have to get one for myself! If you like Christopher Moore's writing (and I do) you'll love this.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
