Yes, there are squirrels in this novel by Christopher Moore. This is the third novel in the Fool series, which follows Pocket, a fool, his monkey and Drool the fool in training.
You don’t need to have read the other books in this series. With that, there is a very dry, very crass, wit throughout this entire novel. If you don’t like either of those, do not read this.
If you do, be prepared for it in Old English style writing that you will either have to accept as is or enjoy bisecting it (I know I did).
Christopher Moore is a master of what he does, and this book was a lot of fun to read. This is not for kids though, alright?
Overall, a fantastic read, and it was hilarious to read as Pocket stumbled his way through the ‘real life’ version of a Midsummer’s Night Dream. The, hands down, silliest of Shakespeare’s plays.
I did receive a copy in exchange for an honest review.
