Weird. Well-written and clever with some fun and interesting writing. Word-play as one would expect from a satire of Shakespeare, but oh my was it dirtier than I expected. The Bard was fond of bawdy humor, true, but he was better at subtlety. Though I don't think Moore was aiming for subtle. Another "Well this is Available Now" library find that was...intriguing enough to finish but thoroughly odd. I almost wish the Author's Note had come as a preface though obviously that would have included spoilers. I had a greater appreciation for the work as a whole knowing the background of its creation.
