Acerca de esta escucha

Shakespeare meets Dashiell Hammett in this wildly entertaining murder mystery from New York Times best-selling author Christopher Moore - an uproarious, hardboiled take on the Bard’s most performed play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, featuring Pocket, the hero of Fool and The Serpent of Venice, along with his sidekick, Drool, and pet monkey, Jeff.

Set adrift by his pirate crew, Pocket of Dog Snogging - last seen in The Serpent of Venice - washes up on the sun-bleached shores of Greece, where he hopes to dazzle the Duke with his comedic brilliance and become his trusted fool.

But the island is in turmoil. Egeus, the Duke’s minister, is furious that his daughter Hermia is determined to marry Demetrius, instead of Lysander, the man he has chosen for her. The Duke decrees that if, by the time of the wedding, Hermia still refuses to marry Lysander, she shall be executed...or consigned to a nunnery. Pocket, being Pocket, cannot help but point out that this decree is complete bollocks, and that the Duke is an egregious weasel for having even suggested it.

Irritated by the fool’s impudence, the Duke orders his death. With the Duke’s guards in pursuit, Pocket makes a daring escape.He soon stumbles into the wooded realm of the fairy king Oberon, who, as luck would have it, IS short a fool. His jester Robin Goodfellow - the mischievous sprite better known as Puck - was found dead. Murdered. Oberon makes Pocket an offer he can’t refuse: he will make Pocket his fool and have his death sentence lifted if Pocket finds out who killed Robin Goodfellow. But as anyone who is even vaguely aware of the Bard’s most performed play ever will know, nearly every character has a motive for wanting the mischievous sprite dead.With too many suspects and too little time, Pocket must work his own kind of magic to find the truth, save his neck, and ensure that all ends well.

A rollicking tale of love, magic, madness, and murder, Shakespeare for Squirrels is a Midsummer Night’s noir - a wicked and brilliantly funny good time conjured by the singular imagination of Christopher Moore.

Oh Pocket, How I’ve Missed You!

Another rollicking fun and fast paced Pocket of Dog-Snogging tale. I love these books, they’re so inventive, with luscious naughty language. I adore Christopher Moore’s book and this one did not disappoint!

At his best

Pocket is my favorite character of Mr. Moore's. He's smart, but not too smart. Realistic and just plan old GD funny. I truly enjoy seeing the piss taken out of Shakespeare scholars. This is plan fun.

Hilarious!

I laughed aloud throughout this book, and the narration reminded me of Monty Python at their best!

Ryan Morton is a narration god.

I haven’t heard The Christopher Moore books with Euan narrating before, but I will have to go back and check them out! His voices are so uncanny in how different they are, and he just gets the timing of Moore’s comedy.

Smashing!

Well, I read the novel as an ARC but I was really, really looking forward to Euan Morton's smashing performance. I don't usually reread many books, as there are so many on my TBR but this one is worth it.
