About this audiobook

“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.”

Ratings and reviews

It's Crass, Sassy, and Hilarious. Literally one of the best books I've ever listened to. My husband and I quote lines from this book, which had never happened before our since.

No matter how many times I read/listen to this book I laugh out loud through every chapter.

A really funny audiobook. Moore's treatment of Shakespeare is inspired.
