I truly, genuinely did not expect another Christopher Moore Shakespeare parody book, so I was pleasantly surprised when Shakespeare for Squirrels was announced. I’m a big Shakespeare nerd and I’ve always loved performing the plays, so you can always count me in for a good retelling of the Bard’s work (and doubly so after enjoying both Fool and The Serpent of Venice).
Hey look, it’s a sequel review! From before the hiatus! Well done, me. I actually debated whether or not I wanted to continue reading this series after Terminal Alliance. It wasn’t quite as funny as I expected, and while I liked the characters, there were a lot of other books clamoring for my attention. I ended up compromising and waiting until the paperback came out. Altogether, I’m pretty happy with my decision because this sequel is about as good as its predecessor.
One of my favorite scifi tropes is how aliens deal with humans, especially if we’re deemed threatening. I’ve seen variations ranging from funny to serious, and from the blurb, it looked like The Last Human dealt with this upfront, with some humor. Sign me up!
