As usual in a Christopher Moore book, silliness abounds. This is one is where an angel misunderstands a child and it goes so very wrong. But there are familiar characters from earlier novels that are fun to revisit.
I have been wanting to read this book for such a long time. I'm glad I finally did. Christmas? Check. Town full of eccentric residents? Check. Half-wit angel? Check. Talking fruit bat sporting miniature Ray-Bans? Check. Zombies? Check. YES, ZOMBIES. Christmas and zombies IN ONE BOOK. This book was definitely a great change from the more traditional holiday tales. Moore also has a great writing style. I think it's definitely one to revisit in the coming years.
Not Moore's best. Certainly an original idea but flat execution, flat characters, and an all-time disappointing ending. The dialog between the dead characters feels more human than that between the live ones. And the ending! I was expecting a literal Deus ex Machina, but it wasn't even that. It was a half-assed hand-wavey there-I-fixed-it that annulled the whole story, the growth and change and redemption in the few characters I cared about.
