Review
Rating: 9
This was another masterpiece from Christopher Moore. I love this guy’s writing. Just enough sarcasm to keep you laughing. If you’ve ever wondered what the teenage years were like for Jesus, here is a unique insight through the eyes of His friend Biff.
**Disclaimer: This is a fiction book, so no need to argue that point.
Publisher’s Summary
The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his 30th birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years - except Biff, the Messiah’s best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in this divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work, “reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior’s pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there’s no one who loves Josh more (except maybe “Maggie,” Mary of Magdalan) and Biff isn’t about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.
