Lamb
 from Chicago,  Sep 1, 2006

It was a little irreverent, at times blasphemous. It was also very funny. I found most of the content diificult to read given my Catholic upbringing.

Lamb
 from Ohio,  Apr 7, 2008

This book was so easy to read! What a great story. I love Christopher Moore's sense of humor and ability to make me laugh as I read. I couldn't put this book down. I had to read and finish it to matter what.

A Must-Read for almost everyone!
 from Russell, KY,  Dec 28, 2007

Christopher Moore weaves an awesome tale that fills in a Biblical gap--the years of Christ's life before his public ministry began--as told by his childhood friend and sidekick Biff. I laughed till I cried, then was moved to tears by the end of the book. Don't buy just one copy--you'll want one to keep and one to share!

Hilarious and Irreverent!
 from Seattle, WA,  Dec 8, 2007

This hilarious book is a fictional account of Jesus as a young adult, as told by his best friend, Biff. I found the book laugh-out-loud funny, but it will not appeal to everyone.

Fourth copy of LAMB from Overstock
 from 06516,  Jul 26, 2007

One of my sisters got to the end of the first page of LAMB and put it down to order a copy for me; she knew I would love it. And, thus, I was introduced to the wacky mind of Christopher Moore. Only he would dare write a story from the point of view of Biff, Jesus's childhood pal. Only slightly sacrilegious, offering unique points of view, and side-clutchingly funny. My restraint was stronger than Sonya's; I finished it before I ordered three copies as gifts. I often buy used books. LAMB, purchased used, with shipping, is no cheaper than purchasing it new from Overstock with its discount shipping. This fourth copy was purchased for the mail carrier who saved me a seat at the Neil Gaiman book signing; he's a Catholic school survivor, and I had a feeling that Notre Dame didn't cover what Mr. Moore did. (Incidentally, he's blogged how much he loved it.)

Irreverent look at Jesus Christ's boyhood from the point of view of his best friend Biff. Very, very funny.

Fabulous - fabulous - fabulous.Probably offensive but just too funny to care. Wonderful gift for those with a sense of humor.
