It was kind of funny, I guess.  A bit feverish, and much to self-aware for my tastes.  There wasn't much substance beyond the funny.  I'm starting to think that I'm not the right fit for Moore's books.  Humour is really hard, and so subjective.

I also just discovered that it's book three of the series, and that may have some bearing on my experience with the book.  I guess I'll have to read the other two and see what I missed.

Well, humour is a really hard genre to write.  I didn't quite gel with this book.  It was okay, but the funny missed for me and there wasn't all that much else.

Lamb - Christopher Moore

Harper, 2002, 444 pages

So, this book is kind of like a sitcom set on the Titanic.  It's pretty funny along the way, but there's no suspense whatsoever.  We all know how it ends.  There's also no real plot.  It was more sensitive to the source material than I expected, and played much of the biblical story straight-up.  I kind of liked it, but I'm not generally into biblical comedies, and this was no different.   

I had similar feelings about Monty Python's Life of Bryan, so I don't really think it's the author.  I'll look up more of his stuff.
