a new christmas tradition

this is not your average cute widdle christmas story.

nope.

it's christmas gone all wrong, and then some. it was hilarious. i loved the crazy characters, and the stupid angel from lamb is in it.

this book is about the worst christmas party ever. zombies attacking, wives off of their meds and thinking they are warrior princesses, pot smoking cops who forget their guns and leave their cuffs hooked on the bed posts, murdered santas, etc.

don't read it to your kids, but curl up with the big people and some spiked coco, and have yourself a scary little christmas.

Christmas of the Living Dead

You don't have to be a pre-ghostly-visitation version of Scrooge to be a little sick of Christmas by the time the holiday has arrived. Certainly after all the ads and sappy TV specials are over, it's nice to have a little break. For that reason, Christopher Moore's The Stupidest Angel is not necessarily the best book to read in the post-holiday bliss of January, but then again, it is good enough that it is a pleasure even then.

The title character is Raziel, last seen in Lamb. In fact, this book is filled with characters from previous books; besides Lamb, there are characters from Practical Demonkeeping, Island of the Sequined Love Nun and The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove. The angel Raziel has been appointed to perform a Christmas miracle for one child.

The child in question is Josh Barker, who has witnessed the accidental killing of Santa Claus. Actually, it's not Santa Claus but Dale Pearson, the obnoxious husband (and soon-to-be-accidental victim) of Lena Marquez. Josh's mistake is natural considering Dale's Santa costume, and he wishes Santa weren't dead. The not-so-bright Raziel decides this is the miracle to deliver, but his raising of the dead actually just produces a bunch of brain-hungry zombies.

Meanwhile, in a twist on a classic O. Henry story, town constable Theo Crowe and his ex-warrior princess wife Molly Michon's efforts to give each other Christmas gifts will backfire, endangering their marriage. In addition, a hurricane-level storm is bearing in on the town and there's a Christmas party to put on....

The Stupidest Angel is Moore at his peak. Despite being a semi-sequel to other books, this stands alone, so don't hesitate to read it. Moore's unique brand of humorous horror stories is a complete delight, enough to penetrate even the most hardened Christmas fatigue.

stupidest angel=smart read

This book was hilarious! I love the writings of Christopher Moore, and the more books I read by him, the more I become addicted. I definitely recommend this book to those with a sick humor, or just want a cheap laugh.

Beachmaster

I enjoy Mr. Moore's books in general, but this is his weakest work that I've read. I could not help thinking this story, if made into a TV movie, would be a cheesy, late night, SciFi entry. While I would chuckle out load from time to time, the story line just seemed too cut and paste as if Mr. Moore was forcing a story for a deadline and or pay check.
