This book is very, very silly. That’s the intent - it’s a totally wacky Christopher Moore tale of an ex-B-actress off her meds, a cop stoned out of his mind, a glowing angel who is indeed profoundly stupid, Roberto the talking fruit bat, and crazed zombies who want to go to IKEA. See? Very silly, very Christopher Moore.
Amongst all that are some hilarious lines - my favorite about valiant Pastafarians - and a story about the Christmas from hell. Luckily, though, wishes do sometimes come true. And the people of Pine Cove all pretty much lived happily ever after.
