Stopped reading it 40% through. Too much like reading a Chaucer bawdy tale with bad language and lots of talk about shagging. Clever and creative writing but just not for me.
I’m pretty sure I’m actually a character in one of Christopher Moore’s books and I don’t know it.. I laugh out loud wherever I may be reading his books, dirty/innuendos, sarcasm and snark are my signature traits, that and the occasional made up word and cuss words... I adore this humor, and when mixed with one of my loves, Shakespeare, it’s a true f’ing delight... I love Pocket, I love the shit he pulls and snark and sarcasm he gives, I love his bawdiness and spunk... he makes the plays of Shakespeare damn hilarious!

I only continued listening because of the awesome phrase "a fuckload of fairies". Great band name.
I enjoyed it heartily. Loved the exclamatory remarks from Pocket, laughed out loud on multiple occasions.
Pocket, oh sweet, heinous Pocket of Dog Snogging. Always managing to get himself into trouble. This time he got caught up in Athens with a handful of fairies. A Midsummer's Night Dream is my favorite play by Shakespeare and Moore has a way of making me laugh so hard I bust a gut.
This was phenomenal and wild (as always). From nearly dying to wallowing over lost loves to having a good ol' fashioned frolic. This was right good time and is one of my utmost favorite books by Moore. Well-timed humor and splendid twists that still keep true to the play and to Pocket.
One thing is for sure. If Moore wanted to end Pocket's adventures right here with Pocket getting the girl-er-fairy, then that is perfection. He and Cobweb are quite the duo.
