Book Reviews
A hilariously noir tale of love, magic and murder.
USA Today


Buckle in for Shakespeare for Squirrels, an uproarious take on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream—transformed into a murder mystery.… A funny, fast-paced, and wild read.
Huffington Post


Moore’s amusing third installment to the Fool series…. In this raucous, crass, and innuendo-filled romp, Moore once again delivers light and derivative fun. This cheeky homage will please lovers of Shakespeare and camp.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review) Moore's trademark humor is on full display with his cast of strangely lovable characters. This is Shakespeare with an edge and will not only appeal to Moore's fans but garner new ones.  —Kristen Stewart, Pearland Lib., Brazoria Cty. Lib. Syst., TX
Library Journal


(Starred review) It takes a certain amount of guts and wild abandon to recast a Shakespeare comedy as a hard-boiled detective story, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s master satirist Moore, whose gift for funny business apparently knows no bounds.
Booklist


(Starred review) Nobody writes mystery novels quite like Christopher Moore…. As hilarious as A Midsummer Night’s Dream is to begin with, Moore adds a contemporary dose of sly humor that I think would impress the Bard.
Bookpage


Manic parodist Moore… returns with a rare gift for Shakespeare fans…. A kicky, kinky, wildly inventive 21st-century mashup with franker language and a higher body count than Hamlet.
