Lamb manages to be clever, irreverent, funny, and potentially offensive in the telling of the gospel of Biff, Jesus’s close childhood friend. The novel fills the gap in what we know from the traditional gospels and makes wonderful suppositions about the thirty years between the manger birth and the crucifixion.
Moore had me laughing one moment and muttering “WTF�� in the very next. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
I imagine this book would be terribly offensive to some. Lamb, in some ways, reminded me of The Life of Brian, the fantastic Monty Python spoof. If you are easily offended by a satirical view of your faith, please don’t pick it up. If you can lose yourself in an imaginative telling of what we will never know about the full life of Jesus you will enjoy yourself. Lamb is poignant and crude, sensitive and uproarious, sarcastic and touching. A rare combination of emotions packed into a touch subject.
I will give it 4.5 out of 5. A bit deducted for length. There were a few times in which I wish Moore had moved the story forward more quickly.
