calistareads 's review for:
Shakespeare for Squirrels
by Christopher Moore
Yes! another Christopher Moore book. I have read all of this stuff but one of his short story collections I can't find. I adore the raunchy and randy fun that all of Christophers books have. They always have me laughing my head off. This book was one of his better ones. It's Christopher Moore and Shakespeare and not just any Shakespeare, but my favorite - a Midsummer Night's Dream.
One of my favorite series he has going is Fool where Christopher re-imagines famous Shakespeare works with the Moore brand. They are brilliant. This is the best of the lot. This might be my favorite book of his since Lamb, which is the best.
One of my favorite other characters of Moore's is Abby from his vampires series. I love and adore her. I felt like Pocket had some lines used from Abby. (going to be f-bombs ahead.) Pocket would say something french like Moi? and then he would say "I said in perfect fucking french." That line tickles me pink for whatever reason. Another repeating line I fawn over is "Heinous fuckery most foul" - that is simply such perfection. The phrase I use in my head after someone is an asshole is I call them a 'heinous anus'. It makes me feel better.
This is probably high school humor, but it just brings me so much joy. I love the bawdy, raunchy, randy language. I just adore reading a Christopher book. I think the best comparison is the literary form of Austin Powers. It's that type of humor.
Moore gives his spine on Puck, fairies, especially Cobweb, Oberon and Titania. He takes on Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius. Pocket is the center of them all and there is hat shagging and squirrel shagging and stage shagging, simply shagging all around. It is a delight if you have a more twisted sense of humor and love this sort of thing.
There is a mystery in the middle of this and lovers gone awry. There are still surprises to be had and it's a new version of this classic story
This story made my reading year.
