The book follows the citizens of Pine Cove — including many characters who’ve appeared in Moore’s previous novels — as they wrestle with the holiday blues, dumb holy beings sent to grant wishes, and zombies. It’s pretty great.
My favorite bit comes when the zombies are rising from the cemetery, discussing the feast they’re planning:
“Suddenly we are all gluttons, are we? Well, I have always enjoyed Danish Modern Furniture for its functional yet elegant design, so once we have consumed the brains of these revelers, I feel compelled to seek out one of these furniture boutiques I have heard so much about from the newlyweds in the chapel. First we feast, then IKEA.”
“IKEA,” chanted the dead. “First we feast, then IKEA. First we feast, then IKEA….”
No one knows why, but second only to eating the brains of the living, the dead love affordable prefab furniture. (196,197)
I don’t have a lot more to say about the book, except that it’s funny and heartwarming despite the carnage. Enjoy it.

This is one weird, trippy, and crazy story. And I enjoyed it so much! A horrid man in a Santa costume accidentally gets killed, and the angel with half a brain cell makes it all even worse.
This is a partly bloody tale with plenty of death, murder, voices inside of heads, drugs, alcohol, strange experiments and some sex. And it's just never serious, but always hilarious. Filled with constant "what the fuck?!" responses and with plenty of snorting and bunched up brows, I was well entertained all the way through.
What an utterly bizarre read!

I'm severely behind on my reviews, so this one is getting a "condensed version" review.
The Stupidest Angel was most certainly one of the stupidest books I've ever read. However, after a few overly sappy and sentimental Christmas books, I thought it would be a breath of fresh air. It was a little more like a breath of slightly raunchy fart filled air. While I did chuckle here and there, most of the (usually juvenile) humor fell a bit flat for me. I would have been more tolerant had this been about 100 pages, but it just dragged on way too long for me.
Scene- The Stupidest Angel and I laying in bed post whoo-hoo.
TSA: *Arms behind head. Smirk on face.*
ME: Uhh...so that was...ok. Oh! I forgot I was supposed to pick up my grandma from Bingo tonight...at 2am.
TSA: I get it all the time, baby. I get it all the time.

What a not made for tv Christmas story! Loved it. You will not see where any of this is going till the very end. Great to get an angels perspective on the birth of Christ and all that went into getting it right. Funny well developed characters, some from previous books but you can read just this. You gotta love the way some in the small town celebrate the holiday and how they try and make sure everyone has a good one. Lots of swearing and language so be prepared but still really funny!
For what it was (a Christmas zombie story), this was a fun, enjoyable read. It doesn't demand that you take it seriously, either, which makes it so much easier to enjoy.
A spectacular Christmas novel for those that just want to laugh. It's got everything, from the drunk jerk who gets what's coming to him, a lovable psycho, a stupid angel, plenty of hilarious romance, and then...ZOMBIES!
Yeah. Great book. I recommend it, but be warned! It may not be for everyone.
