Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the holiday spirit. But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed; no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead. But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting. Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the bunch, and before you can say "Kris Kringle," he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen. Move over, Charles Dickens -- it's Christopher Moore time.… (mehr)

Se volete leggervi qualcosa di non convenzionale (e molto divertente) sul Natale, Tutta colpa dell’angelo potrebbe fare al caso vostro. Sarebbe il terzo di una serie, ma io per prima l’ho letto senza conoscere gli altri e il mio divertimento non ne ha risentito. Dopo tutto con un libro che contiene questa avvertenza, cosa potevo aspettarmi?

Se state comprando questo libro come regalo per vostra nonna o un ragazzino, sappiate che contiene parolacce, gustose descrizioni di cannibalismo e quarantenni che fanno sesso. Poi non date la colpa a me. Io vi ho avvisato.

Poi sul retro della copertina c’è una (sospetta) raccomandazione alla lettura di questo libro da parte di Nicholas Sparks, del quale non ho mai letto nulla, ma, vista la sua fama, trovo incredibile che raccomandi un romanzo del genere…

Comunque, questo libro è completamente folle, pieno di personaggi completamente folli che fanno cose altrettanto folli. E – non ci crederete – ma tutto questo suona normale: non avrete bisogno di una gran dose di sospensione dell’incredulità, anche quando iniziano a passare angeli svitati, poliziotti strafatti, ex-attrici nude ma con una tashi, pipistrelli parlanti ma affetti da mutismo, e via di seguito…

È il primo libro di Christopher Moore che leggo e l’ho trovato molto dissacrante e poco sentimentale: qui agli spiriti dei Natali passati, presenti e futuri si preferisce un colpo di pala che sarebbe stato ben piazzato se poi non fosse passato un angelo tutto preso dal suo miracolo natalizio… ( )

This book has everything, a pot-smoking police man, a broad sword toting schizophrenic ex-B movie star, a man with a talking fruit bat who sports ray-bans, and zombies. Christmas carol this isn't, but this book is a fun and wild ride. I found myself laughing out loud through the whole book. Christopher Moore is a wonderful writer if you like a like horror with your humor (or vice versa!). ( )

The perfect anti-Christmas book. Zombies, angels, potheads, Amazon warrior babes. This book had everything I needed this holiday season. ;) ( )

Do you remember the old Christmas specials they used to have on TV? The ones with the all-star casts of every big name from every popular show at the time? The Stupidest Angel is Christopher Moore's version of that. Only much funnier, slightly mad, and with zombies. ( )

Falta una semana para Navidad, pero no todo el mundo es feliz en el pueblecito de Pine Cove (California). El pequeño Joshua Barker necesita con urgencia un milagro navideño. Y no es que esté moribundo, ni que su perro se haya escapado de casa: es que Josh ha visto cómo a Santa Claus le abrían la cabeza con una pala. Ahora solo anhela una cosa: que el viejo barbudo regrese de entre los muertos. Lo que no puede imaginar es que alguien esté escuchando sus plegarias... Aunque no destaque por ser, precisamente, el más listo de los ángeles.

Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.
