We'll add publisher questions if and when they're available; in the meantime, use our LitLovers talking points to help start a discussion for SHAKESPEARE FOR SQUIRRELS … then take off on your own:
1. Well… is Shakespeare for Squirrels funny? Do you find Moore's humor puerile, cleverly witty, overly raunchy, laugh-out-loud hilarious?
2. Are you familiar with the Bard's original Midsummer Night's Dream? What elements of MsND does Moore build on, and where does he depart?
3. Characters seems to have their own agendas. Who manipulates whom for their own reasons?
4. Do you have a favorite character?
5. Who killed Puck… and why? A number of Athenians would love to have Puck dead; whom did you first suspect?
6. Talk about the way Moore breaks through the 4th wall in his Shakespearean spoof.
7. What do you think Shakespeare himself would have thought of Moore's homage?
