Well, fuckstockings indeed. That’s my new favorite word, I must admit. Ah King Lear, Moore’s right, sometimes we do just want to kill you when you go bonkers in the storm. Moore’s retelling of Lear, set in a Britain that never was and never will ...
I'm gonna go ahead and co-opt a term Dan used in his review of this bawdy book, and call it simply Moore-gasmic. Fuckstockings! is just one of the many expletives and/or insults that spew forth from the mouth of King Lear's fool, Pocket, that I'm hoping to sneak into my everyday vocabulary. Twatgob...
I read both this and Bill's actual King Lear in conjunction, a method that I would highly recommend, never-mind that I can no longer mentally separate the two from each other. Fool follows the same events as King Lear (or just about) and gives a very strong argument for the real main character in th...
Yet another outrageously hilarious tome from the keyboard of Christopher Moore! I know for a fact that not all of my friends and family will like Fool, but many will love it as much as I did, and many will be rolling around laughing, in fits of laughter, as I was. The jester of the court of King Lea...
4.5 stars Perfectly fucking hilarious! Unfortunately I never read King Leer, but you don't need to to find this witty, nasty, and utterly fun. I love Pocket. I love Drool. I love the shagging. I love the tossing. Highly recommend the audio version!‘The castle’s awash in intrigue, subterfuge, ...
Yeah, I chuckled at this one. Having never read King Lear, I was slightly concerned that I wouldn't follow the story or get the jokes, but it didn't really matter. I'm sure some parts went over my head, but I enjoyed it quite a bit anyway. There are also lots of allusions to other Shakespeareian wor...
I think the warning at the beginning of the book sums it up perfectly: "WARNING: This is a bawdy tale. Herein you will find gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason..."It is a satirical spoof of Shakespeare's works (particularly King Lear, but allusions are made to other works of The...
Okay I laughed out loud numerous times reading this book. Bawdy, witty, a mishmash of various Shakespearean plays. Packet, the fool, is the main character and he rains barbed insults down on everybody from King Lear to the laundress (with spectacular breasts). This dangerous need to express himsel...
