Editorial Review: Product Description: Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe. 'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the holiday spirit. It is the hap-hap-happiest time of the year, after all. But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed; no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead. But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting. Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the bunch, and before you can say "Kris Kringle," he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen. Only Christopher Moore, the man who brought you the outrageous lost gospel Lamb and the hysterical fish tale Fluke could have devised a new holiday classic that tugs at the heartstrings and serves up a healthy slice of fruitcake to boot. Move over, Charles Dickens -- it's Christopher Moore time. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - This is my Go To Christmas Story!I have read this book every December since it came out, it puts me in the holiday spirit. My heart is warms in the same way the Grinch warms my heart! Rating: - Christopher Moore has yet to disapoint - What a mind!While not his best work it is deffinitely a must read for any fan of C. Moore. Totally entertaining and an enjoyable quick read. Rating: - 'Kay?This was my first experience reading Christopher Moore. I am a huge Terry Pratchett fan, and I was looking for something similar from a different author. I found it...sort of. This book started off in a completely absurd direction, and it just kept going. His characters were wonderful; I see they are used in other books, and I will have to check those out. Look...heed the author's warning! He really does go there. If that kind of thing grosses you out, put this book down and walk ... Read More Rating: - Devilishly Funny, Bizarre and MorbidThis is the first book I've read by this author. Mr. Moore is a cross between Carl Hiaasen, Stephen King and Timothy Leary during one of the professor's mind-altering drug experiments. Very, very funny metaphors are to be found throughout the story. I started laughing upon reading the author's dedication page which is certainly a first for me. I also cracked up upon reading the first paragraph of the story (32 words). At some points in the story, I had tears of laughter streaming down my face. Mr. Moore ... Read More Rating: - First We Feast, Then IKEA!Christopher Moore's The Stupidest Angel CD: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror is another audiobook to entertain, even at 5 A.M. on the commute into the city. My husband and I have gotten into a habit of listening to audiobooks in the car when we travel to and from work, and when we take little road trips. Christopher Moore's books seem to be the most addictive for us even with the sometimes dark humor and harsh content. The Stupidest Angel is no exception. The book is set ...
