I have just order my 3rd copy of this book as I have read my to previous copies so much the spine is splitting as are my sides when reading. If only Christopher Moore was a minister Sunday school would have been my favourite hour of the week. All books are a must read but start with this and you will see the light. If you don't read this you are ' unclean, unclean ' as buff would say.

11/14/08: Truly one of the best books I've ever read. Simultaneously hilarious, outrageous, thought-provoking and touching. Interesting to think about what Jesus may have done in all of his lost years. I'm no Biblical scholar, but I thought I knew a fair amount about the Bible. Yet I learned a lot from this book! I can't wait to read it again. 3/2/14: So glad I read this book again! I picked up on so many details I missed on the first reading. I will definitely read this book, again!
