Just finished reading “Fool” by Christopher Moore. It’s not a new book, having been published in the recent past (i.e. after 2000), but it’s a great mess of a tale.

Good News: You don’t have to know the story of King Lear to enjoy the book. All you need to know is that it’s quite different in some ways.

Bad news: It’s awfully funny. Wait! That’s good news.

Heck, there’s nothing bad about this book. Read it and laugh out loud like I did. It’s really, really well written with no loose ends. There are lots of loose things in this novel, but ends aren’t among them.

Spoiler: No dragons here.
