Book description
Hey, you won't believe the wild ride I just finished listening to!
I just finished Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore, and it feels like a fever-dream mash-up of a hard-boiled detective story and a Shakespearean comedy. Picture a gritty New York gumshoe, a touch of pirate swagger, and the mischievous world of A Midsummer Night's Dream-that's exactly what Moore delivers, but with a twist that will keep you on your toes from the first frame.
The hero is Pocket, a fool from Moore's earlier books Fool and The Serpent of Venice. After a rogue pirate crew dumps him on a Greek shore, he's determined to turn the island's duke into a fan of his comedic brilliance. But the duke's decree about Hermia's marriage plans sends Pocket straight into a dangerous chase, and he ends up in the fairy kingdom of Oberon. And there's a big problem: Robin Goodfellow (the sprite Puck) is dead. Murder. Everyone in that forest has a motive-yes, even the fancies of the fairies are tangled in a web of jealousy and ambition.
Oberon offers Pocket a deal-be his fool and solve the mystery, or face death. And that's where the real adventure begins. The book swings from the streets of a New York-style cityscape to a sun-bleached Greek beach, then to a forest of enchanted mischief, all while keeping a steady noir beat. Pocket's sleuthing is full of quirky humor, and Moore's absurdist style makes every twist feel both shocking and inevitable.
What really pulls this audiobook together is how Moore layers the story. He doesn't just throw a classic tale into a crime plot; he makes every line feel fresh. The narrative voice is witty, sometimes sardonic, but always generous with a laugh. The characters-Pocket, his sidekick Drool, the pet monkey Jeff, the duke, the minister Egeus, and the fairy council-are all vivid and surprisingly human, even when they're part of a fairy realm.
The narration is a highlight. It captures the playful, fast-paced nature of the text, and the pacing keeps you engaged. Moore's trademark absurdity lands with perfect timing, making the stakes feel absurdly real. The soundtrack and sound effects underline the humor and tension, turning each scene into a small, self-contained world.
If you're a fan of Moore's previous novels or love a good mash-up of genres, this audiobook is a must-hear. It's a rollicking, witty, and downright hilarious adventure that proves you can still love the Bard while having a good time. Give it a listen; you'll leave laughing, thinking about clever twists, and maybe even planning your own "foolish" detective outing.
