Lamb rocks!. By far one of the most entertaining and thought provoking books I have read and reread on the subject of Joshua aka Jesus.

Historical and Hilarious. Yes, we all know how it ends, and, yes, it has to be the saddest story on earth. Buy that doesn’t mean the story can’t have some funny one-liners and idioms and just crack you up. Enjoy! I certainly did!

Too funny. By far the funniest of Moore's books! You must have a sacrilegious streak to not be mortally offended, but this book will absolutely leave you in tears.

Jesus is human!. I am a firm believer in Jesus and this just made me even more! It makes you really realize that Jesus was a man. I know it's not real, but it made me feel like Jesus could be my friend

Oh, Lamb! I love you!. In Lamb, Christopher Moore has the ability to cram so much history down your throat, funny thing you won't notice because you'll be far too busy LAUGHING & giggling at his quips to notice! I thoroughly enjoyed this book & recommend it to everyone!

super funny and a great read. I loved reading this book. the conversation between josh and biff was like that of our current conversations. biff added a human side to jesus that made you want to be around him today. their friendship is one that you would want today. the stories were weirdly believable but this is a great work of imaginative fiction. I recommend this highly!

Great premise wasted. This could have been so much more. If you want to tell a story of Jesus' unknown best friend, telling it like it was so to speak, then it seems like there are three natural paths. One is you totally believe he was the son of god and then you might convey the incredible awe of knowing such a person in a personal way the bible does not. Another is that Jesus was a bit of a charlatan or maybe just a normal guy that history made up a lot of stuff about for various reasons. The other was that he was a deeply spiritual, amazingly aware individual that history made up a lot of supernatural stuff about. This book traded any attempt to expand on any of these and basically was a light hearted romp along with J like it was a sitcom. Wacky hi jinx and all. The central character conveys with total matter of fact ness the son of god thing. He shows no awe, no real understanding, and no passion other than telling a fairly boring buddy story told in biblical times. The only interesting parts that had the makings of a good story were the present day moments that occupied 10% of the book. For that it gets 2 stars instead of one.

Required Reading.!. I have read several books by Christopher Moore. I love his style and I love his sense of humor. Lamb has been on my list to read for quite a while and I finally decided to do it. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I cannot stress that enough. Since I was a child I have been a student of mythologies, including those based on the bible. If you are even minutely interested in christianity, judaism or any religious teachings; either as a practitioner or observer; you need to read this book! Walk with Joshua (Jesus) through his formative years as he travels the world learning how to be the messiah. You will laugh, cry, roll your eyes and nod your head in agreement throughout the story. And when you are done you will wish for more. Good news is there is Moore! (couldn't resist) - Get his books and enjoy!

The "new" New Testament. I thoroughly loved this book. I wished the bible was this exciting.

Funny Spin on Christ’s childhood. Have you ever wondered what Christ was like as a child? This book has your answers. This is not a factual book but is hilarious all the same! If you are familiar with the author Christopher Moore then the reader knows what to expect. If you are not familiar with the author you should get familiar! Love this book and author!

What are you waiting for. Go buy this book now!!!! I bought the awesome gold leaf edition of this book. Read it as fast as I could!!! Awesome to no end!!! I left it up in truckee, CA for my brother to read, and I'm gonna buy it again!!! Cause I want to read it again!!!

Utterly breathtaking. His best book and my all time favorite book without a doubt. I worship at the alter of Christopher Moore.

Everyone should read. If there is one book you should buy someone, it's this one. It's funny, well written and had me laughing out loud on several occasions. This is one of my Top 2 favorite books of all-time.

Very clever and fun. Couldn't put it down, very funny.

Hilarious!. One of the funniest books I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re easily offended, pass it up, but if you appreciate some religious humor, this is a must-read.

Funniest book ever written. This is the funniest book ever written. I had to stop reading it on the plane because I was laughing out loud and people were staring!

Iconoclastic and reverent at the same time. It's a tough job to poke fun at so many religious and social stereotypes, but still show tenderness and spirituality at the same time. I don't know any writer who does it as well as Moore. Lamb is full of the sort of satire that would have been banned or burned 50 years ago. However, his portrayal of the Christ figure as God-in-Training makes him all the more engaging and sympathetic. I am a firm atheist and Lamb won't change my mind, but the book did more to teach the christian lessons of charity, tolerance and sacrifice than I ever got out of eight years at Our Lady's School of the Holy Mount...and Moore's amazing wit is sooo much easier to take than Sister Mary Annunciada's catechism classes. Sister Mary was a wonderful, generous soul, but there is no narcotic known to man so powerful and fast-acting as one of her 2:30 PM lectures on the divinity of the body and blood. Imagine a warm classroom full of 4th graders an hour after lunch listening to a 40-minute monologue about the consecration of the host. The only kids whose eyes were actually open were the ones who were doing the full-bladder fidget because they had drunk too much water at recess. But I digress. Lamb is a special work. There is a seriousness underlying the ribaldry that makes it a rewarding read two or three times over.

The Best of the Best.. Moore has hit a grand slam with this one! The funniest book by a very funny author. One of my all time favorites.

Hilarious. Bought this book about 8 years ago on paperback. Read it in one night, cause I couldn't put it it down. Hilarious.

The perfect mix of love and realism. Faithful but earthy, A clever and poignant tribute to the most human of disciples

Yes.. I own this in paper and i extremely love it. Christopher moore is hands down my favorite author. I read 4 of his books so far, his writing style is so unique. I just recently started reading a lot and his work is like nothing i have read yet. I love him.

Refreshingly Entertaining. An amazingly fun, touching, relatable, and still very respectful imagining of Jesus Christ's life and the beginnings of Christianity beyond what the Bible--and men in goofy hats and robes--have presented to us. It offers to fill in some of the gaps. As a Christian I was a bit hesitant to read Lamb. If you're like that, relax. Aside from some language, this FICTIONAL rendering of Christ in no way diminishes him as a savior or his sacrifices and struggles in that capacity. Aside from being infinitely easier to read than any KJV Bible, it's also very entertaining and well researched (for context).

I've recommended this to everyone.. Friends, clients, people I barely know. This book is hilarious. If you're terribly religious and take religion too seriously, you might not enjoy this. However...this truly is brilliant, and WELL worth a read. Bart reminds me of Mungo, from, "Blazing Saddles," such wisdom... Christ's buddy's name is, Biff; so named for the sound it made when Biff's mother hit him on the head. There is so much goodness in this book--Biff meeting the Stupidest Angel, writing in the modern day world about his pal, Joshua, back in the day. Fabulous antics, and the story of Jesus like you haven't quite expected.

Irreverently Hillarious. I’m not certain how CM was able to survive this undertaking, but I’m eternally thankful that he has. “Lamb” is a gem with infinite facets and more laughs than you ever believe possible.

If you’re looking for funny, you’ve found it.. Just read this book. You won’t be able to put it down. It’s a nonstop, hilarious ride that you didn’t even know could exist.

Clever and hilarious. Incredibly clever and hilarious book, regardless of your religious background or beliefs.

Lamb. How this was not made into a movie is beyond me.

Dumb, and Not in a Good Way. I was really hoping this idea would be clever and well-executed, but the laughs are predictable, often cliche, and the writing is weak. Less Jim Carey, more Adam Sandler.

Fabulous. I read this a few years back and still consider it one of the most original stories I’ve ever read. Strange and compelling and a fast paced read. Loved it.

don't see what all the fuss is about. an hour or so in. maybe if I'd gone to sunday school as a child it'd be cracking me up like the friends who reco'd it, but I'm bored and it is not funny. david sedaris is funny. this is just trite.

Amazing. One of the best books I've ever read. Funny, exciting, and completely original. Would recommend to everyone.

Too Good. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. The amazing thing is how it manages to put a humorous light onto situations that should be serious. It really humanizes Jesus and makes me feel like he could be my friend today. It's amazing how Moore manages to make an idea that has the potential to be extremely disrespectful into one that is humorous yet gives puts Jesus into a higher regard than what you would think is possible. This is a book that I would recommmend to anyone other than the most crazily strict adherent to religion who can't take a joke (I consider myself Christian).

OMG funny. Absolute hilarity, while making you ponder all of the bible stories you might half remember...judo, yetis, Chinese food on Christmas, and possible answers to the beginnings of age old traditions. A must read!

Moore's Best Book, Hands Down. Simply and truly brilliant. This is a masterpiece of whimsy and satire. Moore has filled in the blanks of Christ's life with The Savior and his best friend Biff taking a magnificent odyssey through Asia on a voyage of enlightenment and debauchery. This is a "laugh out loud" "multiple reads" text that will both split your sides and force you to seriously ponder the idea of faith. I just LOVE this book!

Better than I remembered. I read this book years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The humor and heart just runs throughout the story. A quick, humorous and heartbreaking story.

Brilliant. SO well written; solid story line; hilarious and human!

Awesome!!. Must read. Super hilarious.

Fantastic. A quick and highly entertaining read! There are moments the dialogue had me literally lol’ing.

Worth every penny!. This book is extremely funny with many laugh out loud moments! At the same time, I didn't find it offensive or sacreligious at all. (I know it's misspelled). I've read a few of Moore's books and this one is the best of the bunch! If you've ever wondered what happened during all the years when nothing was heard of Jesus' life, go no further...this will answer all your questions!

Regave me faith. In my top 10 ever

Gut busting laugh out loud read. Love this author, this is my fave of his so far!!

Not Everyone's Cup of Tea, But a Great Read. I picked up this book after having it recommend to my by a coworker. He warned me that it may be a bit offensive if I was religious at all, I said I wasn't so I'd give it a try. The second I picked up this book I was sucked in. I was brought up catholic so I already knew the basis in which the story was based on, which made it even funnier. It weaves "fact" in with fiction really well, making the time line and story believable. I was laughing the whole way thought the book. The author is a amazing writer and I would definitely recommend this book for friends and family. I wouldn't suggest this book to anyone who is really religious. Although this book isn't mocking the bible, it does have quiet a bit go swearing and some graphic descriptions.

The best gospel.. Fantastic. Humorous, fun, and exciting - and much easier to read than the widely accepted biblical version.

Best book ever. This is the only book in my life that I've enjoyed reading more than once

Best book EVER. If you only read one book this is the book to read. This book will actually make you laugh out loud ever chapter. This is my favorite book ever. Buy it and enjoy.

Yeah!!!. I have read this book more a few times and will read it a few more. Even if this is the only book you ever read by Moore you will enjoy every page and chapter. But another great Moore book is practical demon keeping!!
