"Loved this. Christopher Moore has a touch of Tom Robbins without the utterly surreal, let-me-take-a-few-minutes-to-wrap-my-head-around-that aspect. Fast reading with laugh-out-loud moments, and, I'd venture to say when I wasn't laughing out loud, I was likely reading with a smile on my face. Characters were all loveable, even the despicable ones. Loads of fun. I'm moving on to Lamb."

“This comedy of errors is a unique and hysterical take on that most frenetic of celebrations…Occasionally irreverent and unexpectedly heartwarming.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)“Hilarity abounds in Moore’s latest satirical gem…This little slice of perverse Christmas cheer is enough to make even the most cynical Scrooge guffaw.”
— Publishers Weekly“Moore fans will welcome the return of favorites like the angel Raziel from Lamb, fans of mindless humor will find much to enjoy, and literary types can pick out allusions like raisins…A Christmas pudding of a book, offering something for everyone.”
— Library Journal[Roberts’] voice is rich with the ironic humor Moore uses so generously…A great match for Moore’s dry wit and outlandish understatement, Roberts possesses a gift for the timing needed to pull off this wildly funny tale.”
— AudioFile" I absolutely loved the dark humor this book had to offer. Emerging zombies and Christmas together could only be perfectly achieves by Moore. this book kept be up for nights because i could not stop wondering what would happen next and was only disappointed when it had to end. "
— Stephanie, 2/19/2014" Oh, this was a hysterical book! I definitely laughed out loud multiple times as I read this! I really enjoy Christopher Moore's writing style and his sense of humour - and this book is no exception! It was a funny Christmas story bringing back characters from his other books. It was fun, fast and funny! "
— Victoria, 2/19/2014" Very funny LOL. Really enjoyable alternative Christmas read!!!!!! "
— Sharon, 2/17/2014" For those that like a little bit of an interesting twist on Christmas stories this is a great read, and think I have it on my yearly read as a Christmas book because just like some classics it keeps me laughing and is good. "
— Keith, 2/6/2014" I read and adored "Lamb." So I picked this up for the holidays, hoping it would be similar but seasonal. I was greatly disappointed - I kept reading, because I figured it had to get better ... but it didn't. Here's hoping Christopher Moore will take another stab at a Christmas novel. "
— Tess, 2/3/2014" Always funny but not one of his best. "
— Shannon, 1/29/2014" Christmas zombies. Need I say more? "
— Jen, 1/20/2014" This one works! I really don't know what the difference is, between say this one and Lust Lizard, which both take place in Pine Cove with some of the same folks. But LL felt forced and mean. This one makes sense, even with the zombies. "
— Debby, 12/28/2013" Totally twisted, but in the very best way possible! "
— Natasha, 12/25/2013" A quick read. Light, at times comical, but nothing special. "
— Patricia, 12/15/2013" A holiday classic full of angels, zombies, warrior women, murder and all the things that make reading Christopher Moore so entertaining. Read this one aloud around the Christmas tree. "
