A review by zoes_human
Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore

adventurous funny

4.0

Once again the intrepid Pocket of Dog Snogging is immersed in "heinous fuckery most foul" as he becomes entangled in the machinations of King Theseus, Hippolyta, Oberon, and Titania. With his apprentice jailed and his hat-shagging monkey missing, Pocket finds himself depending on a band of amateur thespians, a frolicking fairy, and a most unreliable narrator to solve the mystery of an unexpected death in just three days.

This ribald tribute to A Midsummer Night's Dream is some of Moore's best work. Loaded with insults to make the Bard proud, it is laugh-out-loud hilarious and a rousing adventure to boot. In the words of Cobweb "That were smashing!"
