Lamb by Christopher Moore
Repost from my Goodreads review:
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have read many good books this year, but this is my standout favorite. A comedic origin story of Jesus, it is offensive, crude, erotic and hilarious, yet still manages to be genuinely moving. Taking Jesus and the narrator, Biff, to India and the Far East to learn Kung Fu, yoga, becoming invisible and the gentle art of whoring created a Messiah far more believable and engaging than anything I had read before. It is not a story to make a person believe or disbelieve, but instead to just awe at the incredible burden placed on a young man destined to save humanity, but not told how.
