I couldn't put it down and didn't want it to end! Biff is such a great character, and the way this story intertwines with the familiar story of Jesus has so many Easter eggs and funny moments.

'Quite funny.'
Those are the most appropriate words to describe this book: a tale of Christ's life from childhood to his young adult years right up till the 'Big Day', told through the eyes of his childhood friend, the titular character 'Biff'.
It's silly nature would make it hard for anyone to take offense to it. It's not deep satire by any means. The humor is quite juvenile but it's fitting. Not to say there aren't any darker moments but overall it's light-hearted. The disclaimer at the beginning of this book sums it all perfectly.

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
