What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Hilarious … [Moore’s] imagination swings into overdrive. He contemplates the sex lives of Klimt and Egon Schiele, writes pastiches derived from Frankenstein and the Freud-Jung correspondence, and even finds room to include a grating failed artist named Hitler… Plenty of fun to be had.” – Publishers Weekly
“Moore offers an absurdist and sardonic sequel, of sorts, to Frankenstein… This is a wild adventure through history, art, and literature for Moore’s many fans and those who enjoy historical fiction with a side of fantasy and wry humor.” – Library Journal
“Smart and funny and all sorts of raunchy in the best way… Dazzles, entertains and squeezes in more than a few laughs… Razzmatazz is another success for Christopher Moore.” – San Francisco Chronicle on Razzmatazz
“Moore and his merry band of miscreants are firmly on the right side of history–and they will make you laugh until it hurts.” – BookPage (starred review) on Razzmatazz
“Buckle in for Shakespeare for Squirrels, an uproarious take on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream–transformed into a murder mystery… A funny, fast-paced, and wild read.” – Huffington Post
“It takes a certain amount of guts and wild abandon to recast a Shakespeare comedy as a hard-boiled detective story, but if anyone can pull it off, it’s master satirist Moore, whose gift for funny business apparently knows no bounds… . A welcome return of a fan-favorite character in a romp of a tale that will delight not only mystery buffs but also fantasy fanatics, and, of course, Bard lovers.” – Booklist (starred review) on Shakespeare for Squirrels
?“Christopher Moore gives us dizzy dames and shadowy gangsters in Noir. Sammy, Moore’s comic revision of Sam Spade, will take you on a silly-thrilly ride through late-1940s San Francisco, and you’ll be laughing all the way.” – Washington Post
