Book Description
The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God, the missing years -- except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in the divinely hilarious yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons, and hot babes. Even the considerable wiles and devotion of the Savior's pal may not be enough to divert Joshua from his tragic destiny. But there's no one who loves Josh more -- except maybe "Maggie," Mary of Magdala -- and Biff isn't about to let his extraordinary pal suffer and ascend without a fight.

While the Bible may be the word of God, transcribed by divinely inspired men, it does not provide a full (or even partial) account of the life of Jesus Christ. Lucky for us that Christopher Moore presents a funny, lighthearted satire of the life of Christ--from his childhood days up to his crucifixion--in Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. This clever novel is surely blasphemy to some, but to others it's a coming-of-age story of the highest order.
Joshua (a.k.a. Jesus) knows he is unique and quite alone in his calling, but what exactly does his Father want of him? Taking liberties with ancient history, Moore works up an adventure tale as Biff and Joshua seek out the three wise men so that Joshua can better understand what he is supposed to do as Messiah. Biff, a capable sinner, tags along and gives Joshua ample opportunities to know the failings and weaknesses of being truly human. With a wit similar to Douglas Adams, Moore pulls no punches: a young Biff has the hots for Joshua's mom, Mary, which doesn't amuse Josh much: "Don't let anyone ever tell you that the Prince of Peace never struck anyone." And the origin of the Easter Bunny is explained as a drunken Jesus gushes his affection for bunnies, declaring, "Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around."
One small problem with the narrative is that Biff and Joshua often do not have distinct voices. A larger difficulty is that as the tone becomes more somber with Joshua's life drawing to its inevitable close, the one-liners, though not as numerous, seem forced. True to form, Lamb keeps the story of Joshua light, even after its darkest moments.
--Michael Ferch
From Publishers Weekly
A childhood pal of the savior is brought back from the dead to fill in the missing 30-year "gap" in the Gospels in Moore's latest, an over-the-top festival of sophomoric humor that stretches a very thin though entertaining conceit far past the breaking point. The action starts in modern America, specifically in a room at the Hyatt in St. Louis, where the angel who shepherds "Levi who is called Biff" has to put Christ's outrageous sidekick under de facto house arrest to get him to complete his task. Moore (Bloodsucking Fiends) gets style points for his wild imagination as Biff recalls his journey with Jesus dubbed Joshua here according to the Greek translation into and out of the clutches of Balthasar, then into a Buddhist monastery in China and finally off to India, where they dabble in the spiritual and erotic aspects of Hinduism. The author gets more serious in his climax, offering a relatively straightforward, heartfelt account of the Passion and Christ's final days that includes an intriguing spin on how the Resurrection might have happened. The Buddhist and Hindu subplots seem designed to point out the absurdity and excesses of religious customs, but none of the characters are especially memorable, and eventually both plot and characters give way to Biff's nightclub patter. As imaginative as some of this material is, the sacrilegious aspects are far less offensive than Moore's inability to rein in his relentless desire to titillate, and his penchant for ribald, frat-boy humor becomes more annoying as the book progresses. Moore has tapped into organized religion for laughs before, but this isn't one of his better efforts. Agent, Nick Ellison. Author tour.
From Booklist
If Jesus was fully human, then of course he must have farted, but never has messianic flatulence been used to greater comic effect. Jesus' best pal, Biff, has been reincarnated by the Angel Raziel to write a true gospel--the real story, in which Jesus and Biff set out to find the three magi after the betrothal of Mary Magdalene (Maggie) to Jakan the jerk. Jesus (or Josh, as Biff calls him) and Biff head east, meeting immortality-obsessed Balthasar and then brothers Gaspar and Melchior, from whom they learn of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Yoga, which Josh teaches to his pet elephant. Absurd? Of course, and as in Moore's other books, the jokes, ranging from the sublime to the sophisticated to the utterly sophomoric, make the book. What Lamb lacks in theological sophistication it more than compensates with mirth. Although many will find something offensive in this novel, which pokes fun at every major religious tradition that existed in the first century, they will find it simply impossible not to laugh.
John Green
From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-An angel has resurrected Levi bar Alpheus, known as Biff, to tell this story of his life with Joshua, better known to the modern world as Jesus Christ. As youths, they travel to the East in search of the wise men who gave gifts to Joshua at his birth, because the young man has a problem: he knows he's the Messiah, but he doesn't know what to do about it. Along the way, he and Biff come in contact with the spirituality of the East, along with a smattering of martial arts, strange poisons, abominable snowmen, and more. The story concludes with their return to Israel and Biff's own explanation of the events that make up the traditional gospel narrative. Readers who might be offended by the author's casual treatment of Christian themes may also take umbrage at his treatment of Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, and much else. However, the author manages to share a variety of the world's spiritual insights while creating interesting and vivid characters. The style is smooth, drawing readers into the story seamlessly except for the need to laugh out loud every page or two. The humor is good-natured, despite the fact that Biff claims to be the inventor of a practice known as "sarcasm." In an excellent afterword, the author explains the choices he made in writing the novel, which will fascinate would-be writers, as well as provide a rebuttal for the book's likely critics.

用戶評價
這本書，與其說是一部作品，不如說是一扇通往未知世界的窗戶。每一次翻開，都像是推開瞭一扇吱呀作響的老木門，門後是截然不同的風景，是各種我從未想象過的可能性。它的敘事結構，簡直就是一場精心設計的迷宮，讓我時而迷失，時而驚喜，時而又在某個轉角處發現豁然開朗的景象。我花瞭很長時間去理解作者是如何將如此零散的元素，如此不經意的片段，編織成一幅宏大而精美的畫捲的。每一個角色，即使是最不起眼的配角，似乎都有著自己的獨立生命，都有著不為人知的過往和隱秘的動機。我喜歡作者那種不動聲色的敘事方式，不煽情，不刻意，卻能在最平靜的文字中，激起最洶湧的波瀾。它不像某些書那樣，上來就直奔主題，而是像一位老朋友，緩緩地拉著你的手，帶你走進它的世界，讓你慢慢地品味，慢慢地感受。我常常會在讀到某些段落時，停下來，閤上書，望著窗外，試圖將書中的情景與現實中的某個瞬間聯係起來。作者對人性的洞察，真是入木三分。那些善與惡，那些光明與黑暗，那些看似矛盾卻又真實存在的復雜情感，都被他描繪得淋灕盡緻。我從中看到瞭自己的影子，看到瞭我身邊人的影子，看到瞭人類社會某種普遍的睏境。這是一種非常奇特的閱讀體驗，既有距離感，又充滿瞭親切感，既讓我感到陌生，又讓我感到熟悉。
评分《Lamb》這本書，給我帶來的震撼，絕非一朝一夕能夠消化。它就像一場漫長的旅程，讓我在這趟旅程中，不斷地遇見驚喜，不斷地遭遇挑戰，也讓我看到瞭自己內心深處從未觸及過的角落。作者的敘事方式，簡直就像一位技藝精湛的魔術師，將看似毫不相乾的元素，巧妙地編織在一起，最終呈現齣令人驚嘆的整體。我不得不承認，在閱讀初期，我曾因其不尋常的結構而感到些許睏惑，但正是這種睏惑，激發瞭我更強的探索欲望。我喜歡這種“被挑戰”的感覺，它讓我保持高度的專注，讓我不得不去思考，去推敲。書中對細節的把握，簡直達到瞭令人發指的地步。每一個場景的描繪，每一個人物的對話，都充滿瞭深意，都仿佛在暗示著什麼。我常常會在讀到某些片段時，停下來，反復咀嚼，試圖從中找齣隱藏的綫索，隱藏的關聯。作者對人性的刻畫，更是讓我深思。那些善與惡，那些光明與黑暗，那些人性的掙紮與救贖，都被他展現得淋灕盡緻。我從中看到瞭自己的影子，也看到瞭人類共有的睏境。這是一種非常奇特的閱讀體驗，既有距離感，又充滿瞭親切感，既讓我感到陌生，又讓我感到熟悉。

评分我必須承認，《Lamb》在某種程度上顛覆瞭我對“故事”的認知。它不是那種能夠輕易被概括、被歸類的作品，它更像是一場潛移默化的洗禮，一次漫長而精妙的思想實驗。我原以為會看到一個清晰的開端、發展和結局，但作者顯然不滿足於此。他構建的世界，充滿瞭曖昧和不確定性，讓我在閱讀過程中，不斷地挑戰自己的預設，不斷地修正自己的判斷。每一次的轉摺，都像是精心設計的陷阱，又像是意外的饋贈。我喜歡這種未知感，它驅使我不斷地去探索，去挖掘，去猜測作者的意圖。書中對細節的刻畫，尤其讓我贊嘆。那些看似無關緊宏的場景，那些不起眼的人物，都仿佛蘊藏著巨大的能量，等待著被我發掘。我曾經為瞭理解某個情節，反復閱讀瞭好幾遍，試圖從中找齣更深層的含義。作者的語言風格也極具特色，它不是那種華麗辭藻的堆砌，而是一種樸實無華，卻又充滿瞭力量的文字。它能夠輕易地觸動我內心最深處的柔軟，也能夠讓我感到震撼和警醒。我常常會因為書中某些過於真實，過於殘酷的描寫而感到心痛，但同時，又會因為那些閃爍著人性光輝的瞬間而感到溫暖。這是一種復雜的情感交織，也是這本書帶給我的獨特魅力。

评分這本《Lamb》給我帶來的閱讀體驗，簡直就像一場猝不及防的心靈風暴，又或者說，是一次被精心策劃的、充滿善意的“意外”。我原本以為自己會遇到一本講述生命、關於成長，抑或是探討人性中某種極端光輝或陰影的作品。然而，當我沉浸其中，那些文字便如同一張巨大的、鋪陳開來的網，將我牢牢地捕獲，讓我不得不重新審視我所認識的世界，甚至是自己。它沒有給我預設的答案，反而拋齣瞭無數個讓我為之動容、為之思考的問題。書中的人物，他們的經曆，他們的選擇，每一個細節都似乎帶著某種莫名的力量，悄無聲息地滲透進我的思緒，讓我忍不住去揣摩，去想象，如果是我，我會如何麵對？故事的展開方式尤其讓我驚喜，它沒有采用綫性敘事，而是將時間綫巧妙地打亂，又在關鍵節點處如同拼圖般精準地拼接，每一次的反轉都伴隨著我內心的“啊哈！”時刻，那種抽絲剝繭的樂趣，簡直讓人欲罷不能。更彆提作者對細節的把握瞭，無論是對環境的細緻描繪，還是對人物內心活動的細膩刻畫，都達到瞭令人驚嘆的地步。我常常會因為某一個微不足道的場景，某一句不經意的對話，而陷入久久的沉思，仿佛那個場景、那句對話就發生在我眼前，我就是其中的一員，共同經曆著命運的起伏。這種沉浸感，是很多書籍難以給予的。它讓我感覺自己不僅僅是在閱讀一個故事，更是在參與一場深刻的對話，一場關於存在，關於選擇，關於愛與被愛的對話。我甚至覺得，讀完這本書，我好像與書中某些人物之間建立瞭一種奇妙的聯係，他們仿佛也活在瞭我的腦海中，與我一同呼吸，一同感受。

评分shit it's not funny, Biff! 除瞭frat boy纔會覺得好笑的幽默之外（這裏的確有點玩脫）還故意用瞭很多科學梗，更傷心啦。說是王小波畫風也不是沒有理由。如果你能像數偶像團一樣把門徒們都認清楚，並且不被上一個分句冒犯的話，這本還是可以看看的。
