Lamb Questions
1. If you had to describe Lamb in two words, what would they be?2. What did you think of the portrayal of Jesus/Joshua in Lamb? Sacrilegious? Reverential? Something in between? Does his relationship with Biff give him a different dimensionality?
3. Is Biff a realistic character, a literary device, both or neither?
4. Lamb and Christopher Moore's works in general are often classified as "absurdist humor." Do you agree with that label? Which scene, sequence or situations was the funniest to you? Did anyone find his humor sophomoric at times (as some critics of his work do)?
5. Does Lamb have something serious to say?
6. What is Lamb's greatest strength and its biggest weakness?
7. Will you read more Moore?
