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!

5.0

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.
