I'm unsure who this book was written for? Even Christopher Moore says in the afterword that anyone who knows the Bible well won't read this, and the readers of Lamb don't know scripture. The story has a lot of crass and raunchy humor, and Biff is a sleazeball. Yes, parts of the story need some humor to lighten the mood, but the bad jokes and sexual innuendos were constant. I got bored between the second and third wise man, but I felt I needed to finish reading because I borrowed the paperback from a friend.

Please listen to Overdue's take on Lamb (episode 394) rather than reading the 444 pages of this book yourself. They highlight all of the humor and fun of the book in an hour.
