Lamb

This was an overall enjoyable, laugh-out-loud funny read. I don't think it was consistent all the way through. The early, “unknown” years in the life of Jesus came across more interesting than when the author put his own spin on the story we all know.

It's interesting how in recent years writers and filmmakers have shifted to making Jesus a more human and understandable character, stressing the humanity rather than the divinity. This book fits really well in that tradition.

For some reason, I spent the whole book picturing Biff as played by Jeff Anderson from the Kevin Smith movies – something about the know-it-all outrageous quippery.

As much as you can only take this book so seriously, there are touching moments that make you really hope that Joshua did have a good (smart-alecy) friend to help teach him patience.
