“Hilarious, always inventive, this is a book for all, especially uptight English teachers, bardolaters, and ministerial students.”
—Dallas Morning News

Fool—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.”

I am a huge fan of Christopher Moore’s work. This is far and away his best work. I love how he took one of my favourite stories and told it from a new absolutely hilarious perspective! I will never read Shakespeare the same way again!! #Audible1

I loved Euan's performance. Great timing, charisma and believable different voices for each character. Story literally made me laugh out loud on the bus.

I love Christopher Moore but I found this one rather boring. There were a number of laugh out loud parts but over all, the story dragged.
