Judging by the book cover, whenever I saw this book at stores, I always tought it was a childrens book, a good feelings book, or a religíous book. I bought it after Redding another book by Chritopher Moore and discovering its another book by this author found in Spanish.
In the spanish edition the book at the first page has a warning tellina that “If you bought this book for a grandma OR a kid, be warned that it has swearing, canibalismo, sex acts, and manny other bad things.”
Just the warning makes you want to read the book.
The book begins with a kid seeing how Santa Claus is murdered, excet is not Santa, just a guy disguised. At the same Time an angel is sent to earth to fullfill a wish. The wish of “Resurrect Santa to save Xmas” rounds like a good one,so after all many movies have a similar line as the basic plot idea. Problem here is that by raising from the dead the guy disguised as Santa Claus, the angel actuáis brings him as a Zombie.
Zombie plague at Xmas, that is a good idea for a book, but in this case it became an amazing book since Cristpher Moore humorous writing style is so great, that makes you laugh every page.
