The Stupidest Angel
I read this book “The Stupidest Angel” by Christopher Moore this month. I have never been high, but I think I know what it is like to be on an acid trip. This book is so strange. Its so hard to even explain what it is about, but I will try. Basically, this town is getting ready for Xmas and an unfortunate murder happens. Someone dressed as Santa is killed and a little child sees. They pray to God and God sends down an angel. This angel is dumb and really strange. But he’s not really the main character. The characters that really catch your eye are the pot smoking town constable, his off her meds B-movie wife, a pilot with a pet fruit bat, a dumped scientist and so much more. The fruit bat talks, the dead talk, the dead walk.
The funny thing is, this book sucks you in. You have to know what happens next. This is not a serious book, its a book you read for a good time or if you just want to relax. I probably would not have picked this book out for myself (it was a an Xmas gift), but I am glad someone did. I feel actually more sane after reading this book! If that’s even possible!
