Taking inspiration from the adventures within the Bard's play, Christopher Moore's Shakespeare for Squirrels is a romp all the way through. You are introduced to some new characters, and learn of new sides to those characters you thought you knew.
While this book is not to my taste, it is certainly meant for many readers. I found the style of comedy lewd, but I must admit that Shakespeare can lean towards the lecherous in many of his comedic pieces, and must give credit to Moore for taking that aspect to the next level.
Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the opportunity to read and review this title in exchange for an honest review.

A rare second sequel that feels even fresher than the prior, Pocket’s continuing adventures through the Bard’s world is a fond pageant you must see.
Moore is nothing if not immensely imaginative. I mean, fairies that turn into squirrels. Who'da seen that one coming.
The beginning was funny and then I kinda lost interest. Still finished the book, because I wanted to be in a whimsical, otherworldly mood, and this book definitely puts you there.
Not my kind of book but I’m glad I tried it! What can I say, the book had me at squirrels

What an odd, mismatched adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream, with assorted new characters, murder, treachery, squirrels, and a variety of interesting hats. Definitely has some humor, the mystery was well solved, but fair warning that the typical Shakespearean raunchiness is presented with modern language. I don't think I'd be interested in reading another of this series, but it was definitely an interesting change of pace.
