Shakespeare for Squirrels - Christopher Moore 4/5

[Nicole D.]

If it wasn't for Christopher Moore, I'd get no Shakespeare at all! We resume our travels with Pocket of Dog Snogging in this nod to A Midsummer Night's Dream. Moore fans love Pocket ... and squirrels for some reason.

This was clever, creative and funny. I thought I knew A Midsummer NIght's Dream better than I actually do. In fact, turns out that one reading in 7th grade didn't really stick. If I'd known the source material better, I think I would have appreciated it more. As it was, I watched a really bizarre version of it. Shakespeare with iPads. (It was a TV version, from 2016 ... I need to watch another version.) After watching that my appreciation for the book grew even more. I loved Moore's take on that various aspects of the play.

Super fun book.

Adding this to my list of books to watch for in 2020! I have only read a few Moore books but I have enjoyed each of them!

Though maybe none as much as Lamb. That book was brilliant.

Lamb is hands down his best.

I still need to get to Lamb but I have read some Moore and enjoyed it very much. Looks like this would be good too but Lamb first!
