The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher Moore
3 reviews
hippie_raccoon's review against another edition
Didn't want to keep reading after two casual droppings of "retard" and casual animal abuse in the form of electric shock potentially escalating to lethal. Not interested in reading more.

2023: hit exactly the right note for a busy holiday season: silly! Knowing all of the characters better now, especially the Angel, made this book a lot more fun. It’s a great zombie story with hilarious humans.
2009: Not my favorite Moore, but a quick holiday read. Makes you grateful that you and yours aren't crazier!
It was fun to see characters from other books show up in this murder/fantasy/zombie/Christmas novel. Looking forward to another Moore!

I have read this book three times - with my eyeballs twice and my earholes just now - and I love it more than Christmas. Wait, that isn't right. Christmas can be good, but includes a lot of bullshit and other irritating nonsense, whereas this book contains nothing but gold: hilarious, well developed characters - including but not limited to a talking fruit bat, a delusional and hallucinating Warrior Babe, the profoundly stupid eponymous angel, and zombies - in ridiculous situations.
Five stars with each reading - and I am likely to experience it a fourth time once I have again forgotten some of the best bits. It may be time to revisit The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove before I return to Raziel the Dumbass Angel.

Moderate: Death, Drug use, Gore, Mental illness, Sexual content, Violence, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Injury/Injury detail
I added a number of content warnings as "moderate" because they are *there*, and if you are particularly sensitive to any of those things, this book may not be for you. For everyone else: yeah, that stuff is in the book, but it is all so *silly* that for most people, it just will not matter.
