True, The Stupidest Angel features sex in a graveyard, and an evil developer who lets nothing, including death, stop him, and a naked warrior princess who’s off her meds, and, well, yeah, a lot of elements that would be difficult to define as refined in any way. If you’re buying this book as a gift for your grandson or a kid, you should be aware that it contains cusswords as well as tasteful depictions of cannibalism and people in their forties having sex. It is, after all, a Christmas book.īut, before you go jumping to conclusions, you need to know that, on some unmarked page before page one, Moore issues an Author’s Warning: He eventually carries out a second miracle to fix all the problems - such as zombies and terrors and horrors and deaths - that the first one created.

Which goes, you guessed it, extremely wrong. Christopher Moore’s 2005 novel The Stupidest Angel tells the story of one extremely clueless - albeit extremely powerful - angel who visits the California coastal community of Pine Cove to carry out an extremely spectacular miracle.
