The Stupidest Angel
Christopher Moore
The Stupidest Angel isn't just a funny book. It isn't just a clever book. It isn't just an astonishingly addictive to read book. It's an astonishingly addictive to read hilarious and brain splatteringly clever book to read. Christopher Moore doesn't just use language to tell a story -- he uses language to delight and thrill you. He serves up phrases that are so breathtaking that you have to read them again, as if you simply could not believe that you read them the first time. For example:
"Blessed are the minimarshmallows," the angel said, swooning a little.
And I haven't even talked about the book yet!
The Stupidest Angel is a Christmas tale of beauty, hate, greed, love, power, death, secrets, murder, revelations, magic, miracles, resurrection, the inexplicable appearance of Star Trek shirts, and the sweet peppery taste of gunpowder. Every character is perfectly drawn -- even the bat.
If you miss this book, then you'll spend Christmas wondering what the cool people are snickering about.
