I absolutelly LOVED LOVED this book. It's been such a long time since any book made me laugh the way "Lamb" did.

This was more of a 2.5 star book for me. I understand why people would call this book blasphemous. I thought it was funny and I liked the characters Biff and Joshua but I thought it was 100 pages longer then it needed to be.
Like many other reviewers, I found the first and last parts of the book were great. The middle, however, felt forced. Overall, a good satire, and an interesting take on the story of Jesus.
3-1/2 rounded up. The sections where the main characters are traveling in the East are way too protracted imo. But I enjoyed the rest of the book enough to not want to drop it to 3 stars.
Laugh-out-loud funny.
Did seem (a bit) to go on and on—took me a remarkably long time to finish it.

Pretty funny; however, just too "14 year old boy" for me. Maybe another time

Smart comedy. I really enjoyed this story.
