I was a little disappointed by this book. The author's book “A Dirty Job” was so funny, and I had high expectations for this one. The title alone is hilarious. But I felt like there was just too much going on in the book - it would have been much better at half the length. At the end, it seemed like Moore was just trying to squeeze in everything that happened up to Jesus' crucifixion. Jesus/Joshua didn't seem to have a consistent personality throughout the book. And, he tried to take credit for inventing coffee. The whole thing just got too far-fetched. But with the rapid-fire dialogue, it might make a good movie, if they shortened it.
