Sinossi
Tutti sanno come è nato e come è morto Gesù. La stella cometa, la mangiatoia, i Re Magi; e poi la passione, la crocifissione. Ma che cosa ha combinato dall'infanzia ai trent'anni? Su richiesta del Messia, a duemila anni dalla sua morte, un angelo fa resuscitare il suo migliore amico, Levi detto Biff, a cui spetta il compito di scrivere un nuovo Vangelo che racconti finalmente la vera storia di Gesù di Nazareth. E quella di Biff è un'epopea ricca di miracoli, viaggi, scoperte, kung fu, demoni, morti viventi e folli monaci tibetani. Forse nemmeno l'astuzia e la devozione del migliore amico riusciranno a risparmiare al Salvatore il suo tragico destino. Nessuno - a parte Maddi (Maria di Magdala) - gli ha voluto bene quanto lui, ma Biff non permetterà che si sacrifichi e ascenda al cielo senza aver lottato per impedirlo! Chi ha amato la folle e surreale altalena di personaggi e avventure di "Un lavoro sporco", ritroverà il medesimo spirito in questa commovente rivisitazione delle Sacre Scritture.

When it wasn’t being used as an excuse to murder people who believed different things, then it was being used Leggi tutto
A continuation of the bestselling, pythonesc blasphemous highway to hell that is often just driven to provoke, but also masterfully described in Moores´by far best book. No spoiler warning, but a sacrilege and dogma breaking overkill notification, because this book and the review might be nothing for Leggi tutto
If you've been following my reviews over the last few years, I don't see any reason why I should have to put a caution into this, but here it is: if you're not interested in speculative fiction, open to the reinterpretation of the life of Jesus, speculation on the gaps in the gospels and the possibi Leggi tutto
What I remember from CCD: • It was Tuesday nights and that meant that I missed Who’s the Boss • All the really obnoxious cheerleaders went to my church (Our Lady of Perpetual Help-OLPH!) • I had to go to CCD so I could get confirmed or I couldn’t get married in a church (so I was told every time I tri Leggi tutto
Christopher Moore - image from SFGate Jesus, the missing years, as told by his best buddy, Biff. This a very entertaining, laugh-out-loud funny book, at times. It is clear that there is real content under the yucks. Where did JC go between the time he dazzled the intellectuals at the temple at twel
Christopher Moore is a sick, sick fuck. And I mean that in a good way. I found a copy of this wonderfully hilarious novel at the Champaign Public Library Book Sale and decided that I ought to own a copy. It holds up well on a second read and served to fill a nostalgia for Kurt Vonnegut, whose death I Leggi tutto
