Not for everyone, like all of Moore’s works. This is a raunchy, hilarious, ridiculously silly romp with a filthy monkey, magical squirrel/fairies, and nasty goblins through a Midsummer’s Night Dream. Nothing but fun!
Another fun Christopher Moore parody! I enjoyed reading it although there is so much going on, I had a hard time keeping all the characters and plot lines straight - but that is Shakespeare's fault, not Moore's. I enjoyed the twists on some of the characters, and it's good to "see" Pocket again.
Parts of this book made me laugh out loud and then other parts just dragged on and on.
This was so weird, but in a good way. Moore has a great point that MSND is one of the best Shakespearean works to have your way with as it is a bunch of buffoonery in a forest as-is. Raunchy and very “what the fuck am I reading”, it was a good time. This was my first book by this author, and while I don’t foresee myself going out of my way to read another by him, I don’t see myself turning down the opportunity should a book of interest present itself.
If you like Chris Moore, you'll dig this - particularly if you're into the Fool universe - as Pocket, Drool, and Jones have antics Shakespearean. If you don't like Chris Moore, well then wtf is wrong with you?
In this stressful, confusing & angry time we live in Shakespeare for Squirrels is just the laugh out loud, utterly obnoxious, creative body of work we need to read (or in my case listen to) to re-center ourselves. I love to laugh and this book had me doing it in spades!
I have enjoyed reading Christopher Moore since I first opened [b:Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal|28881|Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal|Christopher Moore|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1331419009l/28881._SY75_.jpg|3346728]. This, the third in a series of Shakespeare-inspired stories, is as ludicrous, bawdy, and rollicking as the other two ([b:Fool|3684856|Fool|Christopher Moore|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1434220875l/3684856._SY75_.jpg|3793700] and [b:The Serpent of Venice|18089900|The Serpent of Venice|Christopher Moore|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1376934009l/18089900._SY75_.jpg|25337586]).
This book is more frenetically paced than the other two, but just as delightfully weird, with fairies and goblins and a supernatural Narrator who pops unexpectedly.
This was a fun, fast read, and should be on any Moore's reading list.

A re-imagining of A Midsummer's Night Dream with Moore's Fool stepping in for Puck and woodland fairies by night who become squirrels by day. Entertaining and enjoyable.
This is Moore's 3rd book about the Fool, known in this book as Pocket of Dog Snogging, and his takeoff on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Good fun, lots of scatalogical humor and bawdiness! I couldn't quite keep track of what was going on at all times in this somewhat frenetic tale, but I don't think it matters. This is the Shakespeare that Shakespeare would be writing now, only less poetic. I enjoyed it a lot and giggled and highlighted some of the really good curses like "Shut your fetid cakehole, thou festering canker blossom," so I can use them as needed! If you like Moore, you'll probably like this, and if you don't, you won't!
