Christopher Moore
“Hilarious, always inventive, this is a book for all, especially uptight English teachers, bardolaters, and ministerial students.” —Dallas Morning NewsFool—the bawdy and outrageous New York Times bestseller from the unstoppable Christopher Moore—is a hilarious new take on William Shakespeare’s King Lear…as seen through the eyes of the foolish liege’s clownish jester, Pocket. A rousing tale of “gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity,” Fool joins Moore’s own Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, and You Suck! as modern masterworks of satiric wit and sublimely twisted genius, prompting Carl Hiassen to declare Christopher Moore “a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word.”

"Another great book from Moore! So funny and clever. I’d love to be inside this man’s head! Definitely not rated G, if you’re uncomfortable with sexual innuendo this isn’t for you. "

"I've yet to read one that I DON'T like by him. You Suck, The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, and Island of the Sequined Love Nun all stand out as memorable and enjoyable, but Lamb is my absolute favorite of his. He's also a pretty fun follow on Twitter, FYI. "

"Raunchy & Ridiculous fun. A re imagining of the Shakespeare that reminds us of the brilliance of the source material, whilst playing fast and loose with character and setting"

"When he got caught shagging the princess, tried to lie his way out and said his 'Willie' smelled like fish because because he was walking naked through the kitchen and tripped, plunging it into the fish pie that had been prepared for lunch. The king's response made me roll. But there are so many parts that just make me giggle."
