WORTH CONSUMING!

Lamb is an entertaining, tongue-in-cheek depiction of the life of Jesus, as told through the eyes of his best friend Levi (Biff). More than merely a retelling, it fills in the missing years of Jesus’ life between birth and messiahhood. Who knew he’d spent time studying in India and China? All your favorite Holy Family members, disciples and apostles make appearances, including Mary Magdalene (Maggie). It didn’t quite live up to my lofty expectations — I didn’t fall out of bed laughing — but great fun for anyone with a sense of humor, regardless of beliefs.

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I enjoyed this book, however, I must say that I was a little dissapointed too.

So many people have told me that “Lamb” is such an excellecent book, and while I did laugh a few times, it wasn’t as good as I had been hoping.

I think that the premise was good, and I enjoyed how it was carried out, but, in all actuallity, I’m probably not going remember this book. It didn’t change my views on anything. It didn’t impart any new knowledge. It didn’t make me think very much. While it was an enjoyable read, I honestly don’t think it was worth all 460-some pages.

It was nice, it was light, it was amusing, but it didn’t live up to what I had hoped in ways of humor, nor did it really give me something to think about.

A good book, but not what I would call a great book.

WORTH CONSUMING!

I really enjoyed this book and laughed quite frequently while reading it. I suppose there was a corny joke here and there, but it was more than fun enough to make up for it.

Before I began to read this book, I thought I would be warning the very religious away from this book when I would finally write the review. Even the author said he believed the very religious would probably hate his book. Honestly, I don’t see it. I can see how people who practice Hinduism or Judaism might be offended at some of the ways their religion has been portrayed, but I really don’t see anything that should be (too terribly) offensive to Christians. Yes, the book is very funny and yes, Jesus is one of the main characters (except he’s called Joshua here.) But really, the story is told respectfully and above all, it’s funny.

Anyway, read it if you have a sense of humor.

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

It seems like a lot of people like this book, and (like someone else already said) it seemed like a good premise, but I felt the same way about the book as I do about that guy at parties who won’t stop telling you corny jokes.

Oh. My. God.

As soon as I was done this book, I re-read it right away.

This is my favorite book.

Ever.

It also made me fall in love with the smell of sandalwood, lemon and girl sweat.

Jesus is the absolute coolest.

Look, a seagull!

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Like the other books by Moore that I’ve read, this one has a great premise, and some promising bits, but its humor is too sitcom-y for my tastes.

WORTH CONSUMING!

This is the funniest book I’ve read in years, although the ending does drag a little bit. Even so, I recommend this book to anybody and everybody who’s ever thought about religion.
