Fool

Amy Watts - Library Journal: Fans of Moore's (You Suck; A Dirty Job) warped sense of humor will not be dis-appointed by his latest, a retelling of the King Lear story, with Lear's jester, Pocket, in the lead role. Heavily borrowing from Shakespeare's drama for plot and characterization, Moore weaves bits of the Bard's prose into this raunchy, clever tale. This laugh-out-loud book, enjoyable by both those familiar with the Shakespeare tragedy and those new to the story of a barmy old king, treacherous daughters, familial duty, and the difference between a jester and a fool, is recommended for all academic libraries and for public libraries (with the warning that it contains adult language and scenes).
