This book had potential, but ultimately left me unsatisfied. I enjoyed the initial set up and dynamics in Act 1 with early teenage versions of Jesus, Biff, and Mary Magdalene as this Harry Potter-esque trio going on adventures with a bit more of a historical fiction approach applied. However, the book does not follow that route and instead the main plotline follows Biff and Jesus as they adventure across the world to visit the 3 wise men. A lot of the humor is low hanging fruit and at times very distasteful with the jokes playing into stereotypes that had already aged poorly by 2002 when this book released.

Terribly stupid and crass. Lots of typically misogynist sexual humor. Rape trigger warning.

pablollopez's review against another edition
It wasn't bad, not at all. I'll probably return to it. It was just very childish, not really that funny, and not intriguing at all. I did like the writing style, so I will definitely read more by the author. I just hope I find a book that has more plot
