Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's… by Christopher Moore
A funny book, but also sensitive and touching. I will read it again for sure.
This book moved to my number one favorite spot for 2024.
It is a book about the fortunes and misfortunes of Tucker Case “Tuck”, his mainland boss/ex boss, his mentor friend who was the reason he is a pilot, his newly found friends when he gets to the islands, a talking bat, a WWII bomber ghost, an island of natives, and more as he gets sucked into the world of the Sky Princess and Sorcerer and their nefarious plans.
It is a racy, fun, fast read that had me laughing out loud for real. I was hooked from the first page and even my husband commented on my laughter while I was reading this book.
I can’t describe it further without spoilers, but I was fully immersed into the island culture as the vivid writing made me feel like I was there running after Tuck with my feet peeling my out on sand trying to find out what’s next in the zany ride of a book! It had many twists and turns and a ton of humorous shocks to the senses. I so totally loved this book!
I am so bummed to move on to another book. I didn’t want to leave the island, I fell in love with so many of the characters and miss them already!… (more)

Jody is a vampire. Tommy wants to be a writer.
Cruder than I remember, but an enjoyable re-read. Not as fun as Noir and Razzmatazz.
