Fool by Christopher Moore

Fool by Christopher Moore

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"This is a bawdy tale. Herein you will find gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity, as well as non-traditional grammar, split infinitives, and the odd wank."

Well, there you go. That sums it all. If you are in for a laugh, I recommend you flick through this book. :D

The Fool is the first book ever to make me laugh so hard. It's retelling of William Shakespeare's King Lear from the point of view of the fool. I have never read Shakespeare's King Lear and I don't plan to.

I remember the first part where I laughed loudly, here it is:

A knife thumped into the table by my hand. "Back, Fool, " said Bubble, the head cook. "That's the king's lunch and I'll have your balls before I'll let you at it. "  "My balls are yours for the asking, milady, " said I. "Would you have them on a trencher, or shall I serve them in a bowl of cream, like peaches?" xDDD
