The Stupidest Angel A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror Pine Cove Series Christopher Moore 9780060842352 Books

I have read other books by this author before, so I suppose I should have been prepared for what was coming, but somehow I just wasn't. This book does have its merits. Some of the characters are pretty funny and as always, flawed to the point of being silly. The plot was just as ridiculous as you would expect if you have read this author's other books, and I did laugh at times. I still laughed though parts of this, but I found myself skimming the last scenes at the bar as they were just so off the chart dumb I didn't even care anymore. If you are looking for some easy humor and aren't easily offended by the thought of Christmas becoming a bloody rampage, this might be the book for you. The stupidest angel might just be the stupidest book ever.

The Stupidest Angel A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror Pine Cove Series Christopher Moore 9780060842352 Books Reviews

I like Christopher Moore's writing. I've enjoyed all the other stories I've read or listened to, but not this one. Today I stopped part way through the second disk. Maybe I'll pick it up again some other time, but based on what I've heard so far, I doubt it. There may be a point to contrasting mean behavior to the Christmas season, a moral lesson or something. If so, I don't think it was done well. In addition, weird characters are normal for Moore, and this is no exception. It just bothers me that I didn't find any "normal" people to compare the crazies to. It could be that if the characters were read with a different tone, or if I'd read the story rather than listed to CDs and so could impart my own interpretation, my response would be different. Whatever the problem is, this story didn't work for me.
As long as you don’t fear the occasional, cuss word, sexual situation (no actual sex scenes), and extreme irreverence for everything - this book will be a hoot. The man’s ability to coin a phrase is unworldly. And the images he spins from words are always crystal clear. The plot moves right along in his normal chaotic fashion. And an added bonus -NO spelling errors or bad grammar. (You’d think the guy was an author or something)
I adore all of Christopher Moore's books. "Festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe." My god, I can't even begin to describe how wonderful his descriptions are! The first time I read this book, I was reading during a solitary dinner one evening. At one point I laughed so hard I snorted spaghetti noodles out my nose! It was so funny I didn't even mind.
At first, I used to just recommend The Stupidest Angel to people. After a while, I just started giving it away for Christmas. The teenage son of a friend isn't much of a reader, but when I told him that this book had both angels and zombies, he gave it a try. His father called me excited when his son shared the story with him. The boy even read a passage to him. I think that Mr Moore's books should be taught in high school as a viable method of encouraging reading in young people.
READ THIS BOOK! Share it. Laugh. Merry Christmas!
I couldn’t leave the Christmas season without at least one review of a Christmas book. Given that I like the genre(s) of thriller, crime, mystery, and horror; I was delighted to find this seasonally appropriate book which author Christopher Moore describes as “A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror.” In The Stupidest Angel, I couldn’t find the terror because of unrestrained and continuous laughter. This novel is absurd, hilarious, and laughing-out-loud fun. The only way I can review it is by examining some of the improbable characters.

Lena Marquez Wife of Mayor Dale Pearson for five years, ex-wife for five years but occasionally bestowing benefits on her ex-husband. She will try to steal a Christmas tree from land owned by her ex-husband. Dale, dressed in a Santa Claus suit, and coming home from a party, discovered her with a shovel in her hand. She accidentally kills Dale with the shovel (he falls on it).

Tucker Case A freelance helicopter pilot flying DEA agents into the Big Sur region looking for pot (the drug). In town for the holidays, he was determined not to spend them alone. His fruit bat didn’t count. He had inherited the bat from a Filipino navigator while he was doing a flying contract job in Micronesia. He will discover Lena with Dale’s body and, after agreeing to help her bury the body and hide the truck, will take her to dinner (and later her home). He agrees that a bit of accidental death should not spoil the holidays.

Josh Barker A teenage passerby who witnessed Lena’s killing of Santa, he will grieve for the loss of Christmas. He worries that his mom will catch him coming home late, so he ignores what he has seen and hurries home. He will later be mistaken by the Angel Raziel to be the Child, the Christmas miracle that was foretold. Raziel had been late for the miracle a few thousand years before and had been given this chance to make it up.

The Angel Raziel An angel who liked Snickers bars, he was on a mission. He had to go to Earth, find a child that wished for something which required divine intervention, then he, Raziel would be given the power to grant the wish. Not all of mankind was to be saved this time; the task was only to fulfill one child’s wish.

Theo Constable of the town, despised by everyone in “legitimate” law enforcement, ex-stoner, and last seen by Lena and Tucker (from the diner) in his Volvo with portable blue flashing lights chasing a gigantic Christmas tree down Main Street.

Molly Michon Also known as Kendra, Warrior Babe of the Outland after a movie she had starred in during her youth. Wife of Theo, she was driving a Honda topped by a giant Christmas tree (the one Theo was chasing). She likes to keep up her training with the broadsword and had used it to cut down the tree (also stolen from the deceased Dale’s land).

This novel also explains the doctrine of Christmas Amnesty. If you show up with a present, all is forgiven no matter how long it has been since you were last in contact. Friendship is instantly renewed, all is forgiven. Some present!

There is Winter Denial, a distinctly California phenomenon in which Californians deny the existence of Winter. This is mirrored by the rest of the country’s California Schadenfreude in which everyone outside of California takes delight in California disasters with thoughts such as “Serves ‘em right.”

And then there are the Undead. This section of the novel works together well with all other characters. It could have been a novel by itself. This novel has weird, unique, and offbeat humor. For me, a five star read.
This book is hands down one of my very favorites by Christopher Moore, which is saying something for sure as I am a big fan and have read all of his work! I wasn't crazy about Practical Demonkeeping, I liked the Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, but The Stupidest Angel is by FAR the best of the Pine Cove trilogy. The best part? A bunch of zany characters popping in from other Christopher Moore books (inc. the rest of the Pine Cove series, Lamb, and the Island of the Sequined Love Nun) - this is definitely a book for fans to read again and again. Can't wait for the next book to come out!
