jennrocca 's review for:
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror
by Christopher Moore
I like Christopher Moore. I've read quite a few of his books. This was clearly a Christopher Moore book - but I had to drag myself through to the finish. It might be because this was the first "Pine Cove" book I've read. Maybe if I'd read the other two first I would have felt more emotionally vested in the characters. It might have just been bad timing. As much as I like Christopher Moore, I'm not *always* in the mood for his style. Maybe I would have liked this book better at a different time.
What it felt like, though, was a long series of character developments. The purpose of the character development seemed to be only to tell some jokes. The actual plot seemed almost secondary. There was a plot but, as it was told here, it was more of a short story plot. The rest was just learning about a lot of different characters.
I'll read more Moore, for sure. But I am unlikely to recommend this particular book to anyone.
