I LOVE Christopher Moore's novels, having read all ten of them, and must say that Lamb is my favorite. Possibly the funniest of all of his books, it is the story of Jesus, told in first person by his best friend, Levi who is called Biff. It is touching, can make you cry, and will most definitely make you laugh out loud. If you are looking for sarcastic, wry, touching humor, or, even if you aren't, I highly recommend this book!

This book is sweet, trhuthful, interesting, heartbreaking, and grasps a part of life that is often hard to face. It makes you think, it makes you laugh, and it lets you hope, even in the event of a disaster. A very touching book.

I really enjoyed Julia's Chocolates. It was sweet, had true opinions and emotions, and demonstrated real characters and thoughts. I think this book showed the true evolution and change that people can go through throughout their lives. Very good!
