It's good. It's not my favorite Christopher Moore but it's still worth reading.

I would give Lamb a 6 out of 10 stars. Not bad, but not really laugh out loud funny.

I enjoyed _Lamb_, but I liked _Bloodsucking_Fiends_ better, and I don't usually even like vampire stories.

I think my favorites would be The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and The Stupidest Angel (which has characters from Lust Lizard and Island of the Sequined Love Nuns and the angel from Lamb).

My first Christopher Moore and I really enjoyed it...enough so that I hope to read another of his books after getting some control of my current TBR list.

It's the only book I've read by Moore so I can't compare it to his other works in terms of quality. However, i really liked it and was frequently quietly giggling to myself while reading it. It kind of fizzled out at the end for me, but all in all I'd give it a 6 out of 10.

I loved Lamb! But I love anything that challenges the popular way of thinking about religion. That said, this book certainly isn't preachy, but some points are made.
Really enjoyed Dirty Jobs, too. |
