The fact that the Bible practically jumps from Jesus' birth to his death has always irked me. What about all those years in between? Christopher Moore gives a humorous look at what Christ's life might've been like as he grew into a man. What child doesn't have a best friend, for one? Having the story told by Biff, who claims that role, adds an intriguing element, as it gives an intimate, yet still outside look at his life. If you can't laugh at religion, then I wouldn't recommend this one. But if you can appreciate thinking Jesus lived as a monk and a yogi while trying to figure out how to be the messiah, pick up this book.
